The code clarifies that when people cycling are going straight ahead at a junction, they have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of a side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise. The code has been updated to clarify that when turning into or out of a side road, people cycling should give way to people walking who are crossing or waiting to cross. There is new guidance in the code about routes and spaces which are shared by people walking, cycling and riding horses.

Every road user must have a full understanding of the rules and the penalties that are issued when they are not followed.

Although failure to comply with the other rules of The Highway Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see The road user and the law) to establish liability. People cycling are asked to watch out for people driving intending to turn across their path, as people driving ahead may not be able to see them. None of this detracts from the responsibility of ALL road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders, to have regard for their own and other road users’ safety.

With information on roads and road markings, motorways, traffic signs, documentation, the road user and the law, this is essential reading for all drivers – not just those learning to drive. Further information on driving/riding techniques can be found in ‘The Official DVSA Guide to Driving – the essential skills’ and ‘The Official DVSA Guide to Riding – the essential skills’.

Seeing a term and then actively attempting to remember the meaning helps to move it from short-term to long-term memory.I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this item - the flash cards had a paper wrap around them to prevent them from damage in transit and the the printed packaging box was very robust. These vehicles are capable of safely driving themselves when the self-driving function is correctly turned on and the driver follows the manufacturer’s instructions.
