I've got the highway code next to me now and it says:
Many rules in the Highway code are legal requirements
Although failure to comply with the other rules of the code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, it may be used as evidence to establish liability
The ones that are a law are shown by the "
MUST/MUST NOT" above it.All others are guidelines
