Just as you come off the A3 ( claygate junction ) theres that exact scene... i dip in and out of the cones as you get some drivers who pull up right against them and no one seemed to be bothered.
But with plod around, who aint to hard to spot in a line of traffic, you might as well sit itll only take a few mins.

I would pay more attention to going the directed way around the blue & white arrow at the start of a line of cones than going either side of any particular cones

What about using the cones as an on-going chicane?

He's not wrong! I did think that the cones were put there for me to practice slalom around! Apparently not eh?

Highway code is exactly that: a code of conduct. You don't necessarily get nicked for breaking the "rules" in it.

I think you must be right here.
The road cones bit does not have the words MUST NOT before it.
I wonder what you get nicked for?
I guess if you cause hapless road workers to scurry from your path its pretty obvious....

Yes, Highway Code is guidelines but most of it is based on current law. Have a look through the multitude of road and traffic law and legislation and then tell me its not illegal.

**Hint, start with the Road Traffic Act and the Road Traffic Regulations Act**
