The highway code changes are all well and good but what about drivers who -
a) no clue whatsoever how to navigate a roundabout
b) no understanding of who has right of way at a junction
c) i**** drivers that think they are doing good by giving way at inappropriate times - which can be super dangerous as it breaks the rules variably
d) drivers don't know how to turn right against oncoming traffic turning left
e) drivers flashing others to proceed when it creates a dangerous manoeuvre for the other driver/s
f) drivers copying other drivers instead of *knowing* what to do
My point is that the level of practical application of the current highway code has eroded and there is a much bigger problem to solve. Practically every time I'm in the car, somebody does something that demonstrates the above.
Personally, I would love to see some new national campaigns to tackle this and remind people that the rules are there for good reason and they work. Ignorance kills.
Rant over.
