There are many motoring rules out there drivers must follow. <\/p>\n

The Highway Code is important to abide by and motorists in the UK could be slapped with fines or penalty points if they fail to follow them.<\/p>\n

Rule 185 of the Highway Code states: "Always give priority to the traffic coming from the right, unless you have been directed otherwise by signs, road markings or traffic lights."<\/p>\n

Now it is believed one quarter of those drivers surveyed were unaware of how to signal correctly at roundabouts. Meanwhile 55% are at risk of the same fine due to driving over mini-roundabouts.<\/p>\n

Also nearly 48% admit to driving over a raised roundabout and almost 62% say they drive over a flat one, reports Daily Record.<\/p>\n

Sections 188 to 190 of the Highway Code states: "It is important to remember that all vehicles must pass round the central markings, unless they are too large to do so. <\/p>\n

"You will find that when driving around mini-roundabouts there is less room to manoeuvre and less time to signal, so take extra care."<\/p>\n
