     That's not what the rules say .... it still says if you are ON a crossing.

    The updated code clarifies that:

    - when people are crossing or waiting to cross at a junction, other traffic should give way
    - if people have started crossing and traffic wants to turn into the road, the people crossing have priority and the traffic should give way
    - people driving, riding a motorcycle or cycling must give way to people on a zebra crossing and people walking and cycling on a parallel crossing

    So whilst inflation increases, energy prices go through he roof, N.I. contributions about to hit your pocket, shelves on supermarkets sometimes get filled but often don't, fuel prices still a huge rip off, "Nero" fiddles. 

    Most of this stuff is just plain common sense and courtesy. Those that do will continue, those that don't won't give a fig.

    More important stuff that needs sorting.

    Simple answer to your worries, Moulesy, My friend  ~~~~>  contact the market traders who sell these 'worrisome' yellow Hi-viz things and ask them to get some in " Council Road Workers "  orange instead of the ' yellow ' ones,  then let all these good folk worry about impersonating  council bin emptiers  or whatever innocent  --  now go thee and enjoy your bowls  while I check my Lottery ticket  money-mouth

    If anyone remembers the CT logo'd garments marketed by Merve a few years back, before the "Walls Ice cream" colour change I wondered if that would cause ID confusion.

    As for visibility, I'd be quite happy for 'little Jimmy' to wear any sort of of hi-viz instead of a Romulan invisibility cloak at twilight.

    CY, I’m sorry but Romulans have no such word as ‘invisibility’ in their vocabulary. The word ‘cloaking’ is their word that translates to Human language form🙁. Hope this helps👍🏻

    It is Harry Potter who has an Invisibility Cloak! Romulans use a Cloaking Device as Rocky says.

    Our Jeep has a Stealth mode. It must be on a lot as we seem to get fools who pull out in front of us without seeing us. Two ton, and bright copper coloured🤷‍♀️😉

    "Copper coloured" ? Blue & white check you mean? So it's not just on the horse that you impersonate them then.wink

    PS Apologies to R2B. I'm not a trekkie.

    Apparently Assistance Dogs and Guide dogs are trained to wait at kerbs until NO cars are present. The dogs won't cross until cars drive on past. The new rule means drivers will stop and try to wave pedestrians across. But they won't cross the road and you will only hold them and yourself up.

    Looks like to stay legal one must now drive on and come back later.

    " Remember Them ??? ",  really CY, should you happen to meet ABM at an NEC Holiday show you will most likely find me wearing one !!

     

    P.S. / Edit  I wonder if that is why The Staff at Snowdonia Cheese stalls grin as I approach  undecided ?
