Presumably the on-line version will still be free?

The new code has been published today, but in a less accessible format: the online version lacks the index which was so useful in the previous edition.

Even more annoyingly, there is no indication in it of what has changed since the last edition.

Let's hope it doesn't spread any silly new driving habits among car users.

It has a supplement...

Enter (untaxed/uninsured) scrapper, light spliff, accelerate.... only give way to late-plate black Range Rovers... or your next 'hit' may be your last!

Park more or less near the kerb, or for more competent drivers accross the footpath totally.

Article on the subject at news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7017796.stm , along with a comparison of the first edition. Did anyone really signal by rotating a whip?

Think I saw an example today actually! On coming bin lorry driver indicated right, but also waved his hand in a leftwards direction at the same time. Proceeded to stop after the right turn I had expected and reversed into the admittedly narrow side street.
Incidentally the wagon (a Dennis, I think) seemed to have 4 wheel steering. Is this common on such vehicles?
