Fake copies of The Highway Code are being sold
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is currently investigating and taking action against unscrupulous sellers of a fake version of The Highway Code.

The errors in the fake versions could potentially put road users at risk of breaking the law or, even worse, having an accident. As well as this, it could cause failure in both theory and practical tests.

The selling of counterfeit books containing unlicensed intellectual property breaks copyright laws.

How to spot a fake
The easiest way to decide whether you have an official copy of The Highway Code or a fake version, is to look for these key differences:

Compare the bar code numbers; the official copy has an ISBN number above its barcode.
On the fake version, the logos on the front cover of the book are slightly pixelated.
The official version of The Highway Code has a matte cover, the fake version has a glossy cover.
If your pupils think they have been sold a counterfeit copy, they should contact their local trading standards office or contact DVSA at [email protected].

Please understand that I will only take someone on a driving test if I am convinced they are ready and prepared to do the test.
That will involve passing mock tests with me.
This is relevant where customers contact me with a test already pre-booked.

Due to the ongoing lockdown, I am currently unable to give driving lessons. All driving training and tests have been suspended until further notice from the DVSA.

I will, of course, be ready to go as soon as restrictions are lifted.
