Laws on the Road

By Johann Ken Flanders

Rules of the road are the laws that must be followed at all times by all road users. Although these rules apply to every road user, they more specifically refer to cyclists and vehicle drivers.

The basic road rules are written in an agreement, internationally recognised under the authority of the UN and are in place to govern the actions taken between road users, and between road users and pedestrians.

These laws are not concrete in every country, and there are different local variations in the countries that it does apply in. On top of these basic road laws, there is a set of unspoken rules that are generally understood by road users.

As a general rule, and rather an obvious one, drivers are expected to avoid colliding with pedestrians or another vehicle, whether or not the set-in-stone road rules allow them to be where they are.

Traffic signs and lights must be followed at all times, as well as the written and unwritten laws. Direction can also be given by a police officer e.g. instead of traffic lights, a traffic warden can sometimes be seen on a busy crossing, an accident zone or any other disruption.

As is inevitable with any set of laws, these laws get broken. If you should find yourself on the wrong side of any of these laws, whether it was something you would consider a minor offence e.g. travelling just a little over the speed limit. Or if it was accidental, e.g. a collision with another vehicle, the best course of action would be to hire a professional with experience in road traffic laws to defend you.

The right person really will prove to be an invaluable asset to your defence should it be taken as far as the courtrooms.

Your ideal candidate will be a specialist road law firm as they will undoubtedly provide a better and more knowledgeable service than traditional law firms that dabble around in all areas of the law. - 21393
