5. Keep hands on the wheel
(and don't worry about Fred and the seven little girls in the back seat?)
When behind the wheel, drivers should be careful to keep both hands on the wheel where possible, according to Highway Code rule 160. This means holding hands with a loved one or keeping a hand on someone's leg while driving could land you in hot water -
drivers who take their hands off their vehicles steering wheel could face a £1000 fine and three penalty points.
6. Control your emotions
Swearing or gesturing at other road users can be considered as disorderly conduct, acts that law enforcement are able to take action against - they could also be fined for ‘not being in full control of a vehicle’ if their hands leave the wheel.
It's a good job that cars no longer have gear levers, switches for the
lights and indicators or controls for the ICE, windows, etc, isn't it?
