New rules on the hierarchy of road users – This means the introduction of new responsibilities towards more vulnerable road users, to keep them safe on the road. People cycling, riding a horse or driving a horse-drawn vehicle should respect the safety of people walking in these spaces, but people walking should also take care not to obstruct or endanger them.NewI purchased this alongside the "Official DVSA Guide to Driving - the essential skills"I'm a new learner driver about to do my practical sessions. In any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, only the Department for Transport's current printed Official version of the Code should be relied upon. You MUST be fit to drive (for example, you must be within the drink-drive legal limits and not be under the influence of drugs). The updated code confirms that people cycling may pass slower-moving or stationary traffic on their right or left.

Keep safe, make sure you are up-to-date with all the latest rules of the road, and avoid penalties and fines by getting your copy of The Official Highway Code, which is seeing one of it's biggest overhauls with new rules coming into force. Junctions - You should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road that you’re turning into. This applies whether they are using a cycle lane, a cycle track, or riding ahead on the road and you should give way to them.

Signals, stopping procedures, lighting, control of the vehicle, speed limits, stopping distances, lines and lane markings and multi-lane carriageways, smoking, mobile phones and sat nav.

A self-driving vehicle’s ability to drive itself may be limited to certain situations or parts of a journey.You may cross a double-white line if necessary (provided the road is clear) to overtake someone cycling or riding a horse if they are travelling at 10 mph or less (Rule 129). In conclusion, the official Highway Code isn't just a road safety guide; it's a comedy script waiting to happen. This handy reference title illustrates and explains the vast majority of traffic signs that a road user is likely to encounter. Essential reading for all road users in England, Scotland and Wales, providing all the latest rules of the road and traffic signs.

Not just drivers but pedestrians, cyclists and all road users should keep up to date and this is the official guide to do that. There is new guidance in the code about routes and spaces which are shared by people walking, cycling and riding horses.

In a moment of misjudgment, I used it as a makeshift dumbbell during a team-building exercise at work. You MUST give way to pedestrians on a zebra crossing, and to pedestrians and cyclists on a parallel crossing (see Rule 195). If a self-driving vehicle needs to hand control back to the driver, it will give you enough warning to do this safely. This edition also includes the latest guidance on Self-driving Vehicles which was issued on 1 July 2022. Pedestrians have priority when on a zebra crossing, on a parallel crossing or at light controlled crossings when they have a green signal.
