The rules varied from swearing at others to driving with frosted windows and even playing music too loudly.<\/p>\n

But, a new poll of 1,500 drivers from Scrap Car Comparison found flashing headlights to give way to another driver is one of the most common rules broken by motorists.<\/p>\n

A staggering 88 percent of road users admitted to doing so with 42 percent adding they \u201calways\u201d used their headlights to communicate with others.<\/p>\n

However, the Highway Code clearly states road users should only flash their headlights to let other motorists know they are there.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cNo matter if you\u2019ve been driving for decades or have just passed your test, it always pays to have good knowledge of the rules of the road, as they can regularly be changed or updated to better reflect modern driving conditions and protect everyone that is using the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile certain rules may seem unnecessary or like they won\u2019t ever be policed, it’s never worth testing that theory, as not only could you be putting yourself and other drivers in danger, but you could also run out of luck and end up with an easily avoided penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n
