By: Emma Haslett

Alarming news if you're planning a weekend getaway: the average UK driver can only recognise eight in 10 road signs.

According to research by Kwik Fit, two in five drivers have become so confused by the meanings of road signs, they've run into trouble on the road.

Just one in 10 drivers were able to recognise long central white line markings, while a circular white sign with a red border was correctly identified by just over a quarter of road users.

How's your road sign knowledge? Test yourself below.
