In the dark on the rules of the road

Thank you, Zoe Williams, for reminding us that a new Highway Code was published earlier this year (I’d change one thing about the new Highway Code – and put SUV drivers in their place, 21 March). As she says, no one has internalised the new practice, but this is not surprising as there has been no significant public information campaign. I am a cyclist, car driver and, of course, a pedestrian.

As I travel about, I have seen no posters or billboards from the Department for Transport. There has been nothing sent to car and motorbike owners or drivers by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. How on earth are we expected to follow the rules if we don’t know what they are?
