  • About this item

"The Highway Code" is a complete facsimile of the 1935 edition of "The Highway Code". The book takes you back to a vanished era of motor travel, when driving was still rather exciting. Get a glimpse of life on the road before the coming of motorways, when it was still necessary to learn to signal with your whip and know the arm movements of the policeman on point duty. Featuring signs that are no longer recognizable and instructions to drivers of horse-drawn vehicles, "The Highway Code" is a fascinating illustration of how times have changed. This is the perfect stocking filler for all motoring aficionados.
