For over 90 years, The Highway Code has been the official guide to using the roads safely and legally. It has contributed enormously to road safety. However, every day, on average, 4 people are killed and 60 people are seriously injured in road collisions. This edition of The Highway Code introduces new responsibilities towards vulnerable road users. So it’s important for everyone on the road, including drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians, to update their knowledge. The latest rules of the road also include changes about vulnerable road users (the new ‘hierarchy of road users’), about self-driving cars, and much more. A failure to observe any of the provisions of The Highway Code might be used as evidence in legal proceedings.
