"The Highway Code is set to undergo a major shake-up in the New Year, giving overtaking - or undertaking - cyclists going straight on a right of way over drivers turning into junctions.
The Highway Code revisions also include a new Hierarchy of Road Users, which implies automatic culpability for drivers in accidents with more vulnerable road users (cyclists or pedestrians), while another change states drivers should stop and give way to pedestrians waiting to cross the road before turning into or out of junctions. The final major change will be establishing guidance on safe passing distances and speeds when overtaking cyclists or horse riders.
A statutory instrument has been laid before Parliament that means the updated Highway Code will come into effect on 29 January 2022, but there’s no official plan to communicate the changes until they actually come into force."
