s 95Highway Code

(1)

The Minister may cause to be prepared a Code, to be known as the Highway Code, containing such directions as appear to him to be proper for the guidance of persons using roads, and may give such directions as to the publication and issue thereof to members of the public as may appear to him to be expedient.

(2)

Failure on the part of any person to observe any provision of the

Code shall not of itself render that person liable to criminal proceedings of any kind, but any such failure may in any proceedings (whether civil or criminal and including proceedings for an offence under this Act) be relied upon by any party to the proceedings as tending to establish or to negative any liability which is in question in those proceedings.
