Recent updates to the Highway Code have introduced a 'hierarchy of road users,' a significant change aimed at prioritising the safety of those most vulnerable on our roads: pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders. This means that drivers of vehicles that can cause the most harm now bear the greatest responsibility to reduce danger to others. For learner drivers, this reinforces the importance of heightened awareness and proactive hazard perception. You’ll need to pay even closer attention to pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes, and situations where vulnerable road users might be present. Understanding these new rules is not just about passing your test; it's about fostering a safer environment for everyone. Your PassMaster instructor will ensure you're fully up-to-date with these vital changes, helping you develop the considerate and safe driving habits essential for today's roads.
