Whether they'll admit to it or not, even the most experienced drivers may not understand every road sign. While most motorists pride themselves on their understanding of those all-important symbols, some have admitted that they 'never knew' the meaning of a common sign often spotted on the road.
Thankfully, a theory test expert has set the record straight on what the 'no return within one hour' road sign actually means. Annie - who has more than a whopping 825,000 followers on TikTok account @theorytestpractice - explained the lesser-known marking in detail.
The social media star has successfully raked in her large following after sharing insightful information on road signs and theory test advice.
The expert put the rule to bed in a popular video, which has since surpassed a whopping 1.2 million views.

"This sign is saying that between Monday and Saturday, you can park between 8 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock at night, but only for one hour.
"No return within one hour - that simply means that you're not allowed to drive out of your parking space, drive around the block, and go straight back into that parking space.
"Well, not for an hour anyway," she added.
