As of 29th January 2022, there will be new additions and/or changes to the Highway Code centred around three main points:

A change in priorities regarding pedestrians
Drivers will be required to give priority to cyclists in certain situations

With websites like motortransport.co.uk reporting that HGV traffic has reached numbers around 15% pre-pandemic figures and other forms of vehicles to follow suite in coming months, we at TMC Assist want to ask road users to practice vigilance and good driving practices as the country opens up from the Covid Lockdown.
If you are a victim of crime, you need the help of a professional lawyer who is responsive and compassionate. While you cannot stop crime from happening, you can help others as your lawsuits against the responsible perpetrator will help them to improve their security and ensure that such crimes do not happen in the future.
