New Highway Code

[Flat in Fifth]

No its not a link to the selfmadejournalist website, but a question about the real Highway Code.

Noticed in WH Smithers newspaper emporium that a new edition is out, well newer than the latest one I have which was bought in 2003. I think the one I saw was dated 2004, certainly it indicated that is was newly revised on the cover.

On a very quick perusal could not see any significant updated points, but prepared to be proved wrong. Maybe the updates are limited to revision of the legislation references. ??

So the question is why does HMSO not mark updated editions with bar markers or similar down the left hand margin to show revised areas to allow rapid updates. Or is that too obvious?

Not sure what they do to illustrate the updates, since I haven't seen a new copy.

But, I presume the 24 May 2004 version covers things like the regulations regarding mobile phones. Googling around shows the previously published date was 24 May 2001.
