The Highway Code: Bedtime Story transforms Britain’s driest rulebook into the nation’s most unexpectedly soothing sleep aid. Read slowly and softly by legendary motoring presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson, this audiobook is designed to help you unwind at night while gently revisiting the rules of the road. Each chapter of the Highway Code is narrated with bedtime-story calm. You’ll drift through lane discipline, road markings, crossings and stopping distances – not with revision-level intensity, but with the kind of relaxed listening that helps you switch off, nod off, and maybe absorb a little more than you’d expect. Built on two simple truths (that the Highway Code is famously sleep-inducing, and that our brains continue processing simple information as we fall asleep), this audio book isn’t about cramming or perfection. It’s about winding down, resting well, and quietly topping up your road knowledge without ever opening a textbook. Whether you’re a seasoned driver, a nervous motorist, or someone who hasn’t glanced at the Highway Code since their theory test, this is the first version you’re actively encouraged to fall asleep to. Sweet dreams and safe driving... Brought to you by Scrap Car Comparison, the UK’s biggest scrappage comparison provider. You can explore more about the making of the book and the science behind learning in your sleep here.
