Managing director of AA Accident Assist, Tim Rankin, said: “We are concerned that so many still haven’t read the rules.Nine sections were updated in January, with 50 rules added or amended.
The new guidance means traffic should give way when pedestrians are crossing or waiting to cross at junctions. It advises cyclists to ride in the centre of lanes on quieter roads, in slower-moving traffic and when approaching junctions.The changes were advisory, so non-compliance does not automatically result in a fine.
