| 摘要： | In late January, changes were introduced to the Highway Code. There will be hierarchy of road users so that those who can do the greatest harm - for example, lorry drivers - have the greatest responsibility to avoid hurting others. It places those road users most at risk in the event of a collision at the top of the hierarchy. Pedestrians, particularly children and vulnerable people, are defined as most likely to be injured, followed by cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. The hierarchy does not remove the need for everyone to behave responsibly. The new rules mean that, for example, drivers should not cut across cyclists, horse riders or horse-drawn vehicles going ahead when turning into or out of a junction or changing direction or lane. Do not turn at a junction if to do so would cause the cyclist, horse rider or horse-drawn vehicle going straight ahead to stop or swerve. When stuck in traffic or moving slowly, new rules state that drivers should allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross in front of them. |
