ALMOST one third of Brits are unaware of all the driving rules and laws on the roads, according to a new study.

The study, by breakdown cover provider, Green Flag, found 2.3 million of UK males believe men are better drivers than women (nine per cent), while 14 per cent of women believe males are more dangerous drivers.

Just 27 per cent believed driving naked is illegal. Despite this, just under one million (two per cent) Brits have admitted to driving without their clothes.

A total of 23 per cent of Brits believe it is illegal to drive while wearing no footwear, while 22 per cent believe that driving in flip-flops is illegal.

Research has also shown that Brits often fall for rumours which could land them in hot water. For example, 14 per cent of Brits believe there is a 10 per cent leeway on all speed cameras, while a further 16 per cent of Brits believe you can use the hard shoulder if you need the toilet.

A further 13 per cent of Brits admitting to being caught out for breaking driving rules that they were unaware were illegal.

Most commonly, Brits were caught by surprise for driving in bus lanes, driving just above the speed limit or not wearing a seat belt.

Men were more likely to be caught out for a driving rule they were unaware of; 17 per cent of men admit to being penalised for breaking a driving rule they weren’t aware of, compared to just seven per cent of women.

When it comes to opinions on driving laws, only 49 per cent of Brits think using your phone while stationary should actually be illegal.

An additional 46 per cent of Brits think driving with headphones on should be classified as illegal, while 24 per cent think that driving with a light on in the car should be made illegal. But only 30 per cent of Brits think that driving 10 per cent over the speed limit should be illegal.

The research has also unveiled 3.9 million British drivers (10 per cent) have used their phones while stuck in traffic or at traffic lights, despite knowing it’s illegal.

A further nine per cent admit to speeding when driving through the rural countryside and almost two million Brits (two per cent) have driven someone else’s car without being insured.

Despite knowing the legalities, one fifth (20 per cent) of Brits have continued to take the risk and ignore the law.

On average, Brits will break driving rules they think are illegal a staggering three times per month, while 23 per cent admit they break a rule at least once a week.

The research exposed that men are the biggest chancers when it comes to flirting with the law.

A quarter of men (25 per cent) have continued to break the law in the hope they don’t get caught, compared to 15 per cent of women.

Youngsters are more likely to break driving laws, 30 per cent of 16-24-year olds admit to breaking driving laws, despite knowing they are illegal, compared to 11 per cent of those 55+.
