Highway Code Released as Free Bedtime Audiobook to Refresh Drivers' Knowledge

The free bedtime recording targets drivers who rarely revisit evolving rules.

Overview

  • The audiobook, narrated by motoring presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson, offers a calming run-through of junction priorities, crossings, road markings and other core guidance.
  • Its release follows research showing many motorists have not reviewed the Highway Code since passing their test, with YouGov data noting common sleep difficulties and bedtime audio habits.
  • Highlighted updates include Scotland’s restrictions on pavement and dropped-kerb parking under Rule 244 and revised wording on certain bus, cycle and tram signs.
  • Sleep expert Dr Deborah Lee says sleep can consolidate previously learned information, positioning the recording as reinforcement rather than a replacement for active study.
  • The title is reported to be freely streamable on major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Podcasts and YouTube.
