Gameplay
editThe object of the game is to move around the board by correctly answering highway code questions. Questions are split into three categories, with each one having its own color to readily identify itself; these are: traffic signs (yellow), traffic problem pictures (blue), and general questions (red). The game includes a board, playing pieces, question cards, a rules and answers booklet, a toy traffic light, some 'driving licences', and a pair of dice.[2]
