It is half past nine, it is raining, the layby is empty, and the sign says something you cannot quite read in the headlights. Then the question arrives: am I allowed to stop here?
This plain, cheerful guide answers it for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with every rule read at the primary source in September 2026.
Inside:
- What a traffic regulation order actually is, and why overnight restrictions in beautiful places are entirely lawful
- What the lines, the plates and the yellow bars on the kerb really mean
- The famous fifteen yard rule, and why the Act says the opposite of what everyone quotes
- The HGV verge rule that probably does not apply to your motorhome, and the four rules that might
- The parking lights most vans should be showing in a layby, and the one thing that removes the exemption outright
- How a private parking charge is created, the nine things the notice to keeper must say, the fourteen day camera deadline, and the cap on what they can claim
- What "in charge" means when you are asleep in the back, and the folklore this book will not repeat
- Low bridges, weight limits, Clean Air Zones, ferries and tolls
- Scotland, the most generous country in Britain to a walker, which gives a van nothing at all
- Where you are genuinely welcome, and how to ask
With 24 real stops answered, a 25 question quiz, a ten minute stopover plan, worksheets, a glossary, questions and answers and a stopovers log.
This book does not cover wild camping, which is a land law question with its own byelaws and is the subject of Can I Camp Here?. This one is about the road.
Nothing in this book is sold. No apps, sat navs, memberships, aires networks or clubs recommended. Just the rules, so you can switch the engine off.
This book is general information, not legal advice.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
