A new edition of the Highway Code has been launched today.

It contains 29 new rules and is 50% larger.

I'm not sure how well it will be received though:
Quote:
Road Safety Minister Jim Fitzpatrick described the new code as "a crucial tool for all road users" but the AA said it would be harder to decipher.


Does "harder to decipher" mean that there will be multiple interpretations of rules? If that's the case, is the Highway Code truly serving its purpose?

The main change is that it's 50% more politically correct, there will be no metion of elderly, or disabled, or police. Oh if memory serves they have removed the word accident, as there is alway someone to blame, apparently.

Money well spent...?

Petrol still shown at 85 pence per litre, so still room for a little nostalgia.
