Missie Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 New Highway code The New Highway Code Here is just a taste of the new highway code, as every driver I?m sure will totally relate to this have fun reading. Rules for pedestrians 1. You MUST NOT take any responsibility for your own safety. Feel free to step out into the road without looking if the pavement is busy and you are in a hurry you are drunk. Law RVLR regs 18 & 24 18 Crossings. Never use a pedestrian crossing if you can avoid it. It is much better to save yourself 20 paces and cross on a nearby blind corner. This is particularly recommended if you are accompanied by young children of an impressionable age. Rules for cyclists 46 At night your cycle MUST have front and rear lights lit unless you can't be bothered to fit some the batteries have run out you mostly ride on the footpath anyway. Law RVLR regs 18 & 24 50 You MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals except where they would cause you to slow down or stop. Laws RTA 1988 sect 36, TSRGD reg 10(1) 55 Some junctions have an advanced stop line to enable you to position yourself ahead of all the other vehicles that have just waited patiently to overtake you. Move away from the red light slowly and in the centre of the road to ensure that as few of those vehicles as possible get through while the light is green. 67 When the road gets narrow enough to make it impossible for following cars to overtake you, you MUST stop pedalling. Laws RTA 1988 sect 36, TSRGD reg 10, reg 68(1) Signals 90 Flashing headlights. Only flash your headlights to let other road users know that you are there or to indicate that you are letting someone out of a junction to let the idiot coming the other way know that they haven't dipped their headlights if someone cuts you up if you see a mate driving the other way. 91 If another driver flashes his headlights at you when you are waiting to pull out of a junction, take this as a signal to slip into a coma and not notice. 92 The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence, or if someone cuts you up you see a mate you are a taxi driver making a pick-up in a quiet residential street. You MUST NOT use your horn in a built up area between the hours of 11.30pm and 7.00am unless someone cuts you up you see a mate you are a taxi driver making a pick-up in a quiet residential street.
