I would see those parts as just explaining the law, where the law is a separate thing, rather than defining the law. Maybe that’s just splitting hairs, though.

- Terry_Roll 5y agoIts a bit like the ACPO speeding enforcement guidelines https://www.npcc.police.uk/2018%20FOI/Operations/030%2018%20Speed%20Enforcement%20Guidance.pdf https://www.npcc.police.uk/2018%20FOI/Operations/030%2018%20... https://library.college.police.uk/docs/appref/ACPO-Speed-Enforcement-Guidance.pdf https://library.college.police.uk/docs/appref/ACPO-Speed-Enf... Magistrates will take the above as Law, its one of those grey areas of law, so selective application of the law exists, and thats before you even get into a debate of whether you have a say in the laws that you are born under if you havent moved abroad.
- pmyteh 5y agoNo, you're right. Those sections are included in the Highway Code to inform drivers, but it's not the placement in the code that makes them law - that's the original Act that the Code refers to.
