Re: The New Highway Code
According to the news, most of the new items are only guidelines.
You will also find that most of it is just plain common sense, the smoking one is a very good example. Wife used to smoke while driving ( I used to tell her off all the time ), she stopped doing it when she lost control of the car and it scared the sh!t out of her. |

Re: The New Highway Code
The smoking thing is supposed to just be guidance and to help apportion blame in an accident (IE if someone crashes and they're smoking, they might be deemed to be more responsible on the grounds that they could have been distracted by it). Sadly, I hear they haven't put in any of Psychocannon's highway code recommendations. Maybe next revision?
Anyone know if they do a "what's new in highway code 1.75" thing at the front like IT docs so we don't have to read the whole thing? |

Re: The New Highway Code
I don't theink they have added a change log.
The article in the paper did say that they should have highlighted the changes as "The Official Highway Code is for life, not just for passing your test" |

Whoops looks like I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Personally I think a ch*nge l*g is a good idea as with one, I'd read it; Without one, I won't. |
