This book is an essential reading for all road-users in England Scotland and Wales. This updated edition of the only official "Highway Code" contains the very latest rules of the road. Many of these rules are legal requirements and must be adhered to in order to avoid penalty - fines penalty points disqualification or even prison. All road users need to be aware of the new rules. The rules also include a reference to the legislation that creates the offence.The official "Highway Code" reflects the most up-to-date legislation that road-users must adhere to advice on road safety and best practice. The official "Highway Code" is for life not just for learners. For over 75 years the "Highway Code" has been the official guide to using the roads safely and legally. It has contributed enormously to road safety and reliable road transport.However every day on average around nine people are killed and around 80 are seriously injured in road collisions. So it is as important as ever that all road users including drivers motorcyclists cyclists horse riders and pedestrians should update their knowledge of the "Highway Code." The new edition (last major revision 1999) includes: 29 more rules than before; a new section on rules for users of powered wheelchairs and powered scooters; a safety code for new drivers giving advice to help newly qualified drivers get through the first twelve months after passing the driving test when they are most vulnerable as safely as possible; new legislation that has been introduced on subjects such as vehicle emissions and smoking in vehicles that are workplaces; new stopping/directing powers that have been given to VOSA officers and Highways Agency Traffic Officers; new road initiatives of which people might not be aware (High occupancy vehicle lanes Home Zones and Quiet Lanes Active Traffic Management Schemes); more emphasis has been placed throughout the Code with regard to courtesy attitude awareness and consideration of other road users particularly those more vulnerable.Elsewhere in the code existing advice has been increased rewritten or enhanced to make things much clearer for all road users on how they should act or react in a variety of situations.Much of the advice in the "Highway Code" has changed and evolved over time by necessity. The basic advice in a Highway Code of 30 years ago may not be applicable today given increased traffic volumes; larger faster vehicles; more complex road layouts; updated/new road signage and markings; and many other factors. All road users have a responsibility to ensure their knowledge is updated in order to adjust their awareness and actions appropriately for the benefit of others and for their own safety. As it says in the introduction to the Code "Cutting the number of deaths and injuries that occur on our roads every day is a responsibility we all share".
