When I was learning to drive a car 30 odd years ago, I was asked, when do pedestrians have priority. The answer was always.
Absolutely. It was the same when I passed my test 53 years ago. It’s probably been in the Highway Code since 1925. I can’t understand why the Media keep flagging it up as a ‘new rule’. When pedestrians are already (or about to) crossing the road at a road junction you must give way if you are driving.
