Revealed: Over half of UK motorists are driven round the bend by confusing road signs
Are you being driven round the bend by confusing road signs?
If the answer is “yes”, then you’re not alone. We’ve done a spot of research and it’s revealed that over half (53%) of British drivers have had, or know someone who has had, a near miss because they misinterpreted a confusing road sign.
Road signs confusing the nation
The same research suggests that there are two reasons behind this shocking statistic:
1. British drivers don’t understand road signs
Two thirds (62%) of those surveyed admit to being confused by road signs whilst driving, with hazard signs and even the national speed limit sign being the worst offenders for causing chaos on the roads.
What’s more 60% of drivers feel that they likely wouldn’t pass their theory test due to their lack of basic road signs.
With that in mind we’ve pulled together a little quiz to test how well you know your road signs. And remember, to pass your theory test you need to score 86%.
2. Current road signs don’t reflect our modern roads
As technology has evolved and our society has changed, so too have our road hazards – but arguably our road signs haven’t kept up.
Our research revealed that a staggering 61% of Brits feel that road signs are not fit for purpose in today’s society.
With an average of 452 casualties a day from road accidents in the UK, there’s a clear need to address any factor that negatively impacts upon the road safety of British motorists – including confusing road signs.
That’s why we’ve partnered with the UK’s largest independent road safety charity IAM RoadSmart, both to tackle the lack of understanding of current road signs among drivers, and to start a discussion around how these could be updated to ensure they fit the roads of the future.
Avoid being driven to distraction
As part of our campaign for safer road signs, IAM RoadSmart is advising UK motorists to educate themselves in order to help reduce accidents.
They’re asking drivers to catch up on their Highway Code to keep up to date on the latest developments, like SMART motorways and new road signs.
Road signs of the future
Our research also asked drivers for their views on the road signs they’d like to see around existing and new driving hazards, to help them drive more safely.
We want to make a real change when it comes to improving road safety. Not just because we know it’s an issue that’s important to our customers, but because, as a leading car insurer, we believe it’s our responsibility to improve the safety of UK roads.
If you want to find out more about our campaign for safer road signs, you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram, where we’ll be sharing insights from our research and practical driving safety advice over the next couple of weeks using the hashtag #Safety1st.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time
making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
