CAN anyone tell me what the point of the Highway Code is?
New drivers learn the Code to pass their test and then they throw out what they have learned like most other drivers already have.
Most of the Highway Code is not actual law so if someone parks in a dangerous place there is nothing that can be done about it.
In this area people park where they want, on corners, near junctions, on bends blocking the view for other drivers and they couldn't care less.
Drivers don’t bother to signal at roundabouts and as for courtesy among drivers, it barely exists.
People need re-educating on the Highway Code – if we all obeyed it life here would be much more pleasant and there wouldn’t be so many cases of road rage either.
We should start a campaign for better, more courteous driving in this conurbation; then there would be far less stress for everyone.
