Synopsis

NOT THE HIGHWAY CODE is the unofficial 'rules of the road' that everyone knows but, for some reason, are not covered by the official HIGHWAY CODE...Where is the rule that states: if traffic lights turn amber as you approach them, put your foot down and drive as fast as you can? Where is the rule that says diversions never ever lead you back to where you want to be? Stylishly presented and structured to resemble the classic original, this witty new humour title explores the many hilarious truisms of the road today. Such as the true meaning of traffic signs, dealing with motorway middle-lane hoggers, the correct service station etiquette as well as offering advice on how to park while others watch you, driving abroad and the correct hand signal to give a cyclist. NOT THE HIGHWAY CODE is the perfect gift for anyone who has sat in the driver's seat (front or back) and although in many respects similar to the original, it will not help anyone pass their driving test.

About this title

About the Authors

Ivor Baddiel started driving at the age of 4 months, before he could even walk. Or talk for that matter. He became the Formula 1 world champion when he was 7, a title he has retained every year to the present day, making him the better than best ever greatest driver of all time, ever. He is also the current 500cc motorbike world champion, Trucker of the Year, Mr Milk Float and recently won the Tour De France on a pogo stick. Last week he joined the Labour party and is already being tipped to succeed Tony Blair as Prime Minister, a post he will probably hold forever. He was recently voted The Best At Everything In the World Ever. As well as the above, Ivor Baddiel has written 13 books and writes extensively for television and radio where he has worked with the likes of Stephen Fry, Ant and Dec, Johnny Vaughn, Dara O' Brian, Joan Rivers, Vernon Kay, James Nesbitt and Jerry Springer.https://twitter.com/Ivorbaddiel

Fed up with the near impossible challenge of finding parking spaces in English cities, Jonny Zucker designed and built his own 'Tiny' Car. Fast enough to get him from London to Carlisle in eight minutes, but small enough to fit into his jacket pocket, the Tiny Car has revolutionised his life. With a patent pending, the car can be parked anywhere in mainland Europe. Since he made the prototype, offers have come flooding in from around the world. Unfortunately these were all spam - offering him the chance to buy timeshares in Latvian coastal properties. He thinks that driving is 'good' but feels walking may be a tad more environmentally friendly. In addition Jonny Zucker has written over 30 books and has performed over 100 stand up comedy gigs.http://www.jonnyzucker.co.uk/
