The law did change in January and now pedestrians have a right of way over vehicles. Recently completing my advanced driving assessment again. Motorists; for example, approaching a roundabout must stop short to enable a pedestrian to cross if they wish. The Highway Code is not law but changes.

Not a proper pub if the meals start at £20.
