Tonight S2022E13 - Who Rules Britain's Roads? Tonight

Geraint Vincent investigates one of the biggest changes to the Highway Code since it was first launched in the 1930s - an update that gives priority to more vulnerable road users like pedestrians, horse-riders and cyclists. The revisions to the Code were sparked in part by too many tragic accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians. Geraint hears from someone who almost lost their life on Britain's dangerous roads and explores whether the new changes will make them safer. And he reveals how the highway code is future-proofing itself for the advent of driverless cars - could watching TV while driving really be ahead of us?
