ITV Good Morning Britain viewers call out show over Highway Code blunder

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The Highway Code has been hitting the headlines of late ahead of changes coming into effect this week. The major changes to the road rules aimed at protecting cyclists and pedestrians.

Someone driving will have more responsibility to watch out for people cycling, walking or riding a horse, and cyclists will have more responsibility to be aware of pedestrians.

Other key amendments include clearer guidance for drivers to leave a distance of at least 1.5 metres when overtaking cyclists, and instructing drivers turning into a road to give way to pedestrians waiting to cross.
