More than four in five bus and lorry drivers couldn't identify the correct order, while 60 percent of cyclists also had no clue, with four in ten believing they take priority over pedestrians, Daily Record reports.
"Over the years, I have seen the outcomes of road traffic accidents, which could have been avoided, and the impact the accidents had on the injured person and their families. Understanding and following the Highway Code rules is imperative for us all.” Cyclists, horse riders and drivers of horse-drawn vehicles likewise have a responsibility to reduce danger to pedestrians.
