Everyone knows the laws regarding what you can and can't do behind the wheel - don't we? Apparently not, according to a recent survey by car buying service Robins & Day. It found that a large proportion of us don't really know what we legally can and can't do while driving – and it could result in some hefty fines.

The survey found, for example, that 26 per cent of people aged 18-24 think it's legal to use the car horn while stationary. As a matter of fact, it's actually illegal, and could result in a £1,000 fine if caught.
