I haven't been a motor vehicle user for many years. I did have the highway
code then. I am aware that over the years some things have changed with each
publication and have seen certain things that have.
As someone who rides a bike on the road and a pedestrian I have to admit
that I have'nt read the highway code for a long time and I have only seen
the new one in WHS.
I guess that most of the population will not use or read the highway code
and when they do it will generally to help them through the driving test.
Most of the updates are brought to peoples attention through the press and
even then you only have to look at the actions of some road users to see
that they haven't got a clue.
From a cyclists point of view the little bit that relates to cycles can be
seen online and most of that has not changed over the years.
I cannot quote passages from the highway code however and it is that which I
was trying to say with my comment as I had not read the new rules that
closely.
