I think it's what they term 'Jaywalking' in America isn't it..wandering out into moving traffic where you shouldn't do.

There is no jaywalking in the UK, here we just call it crossing the road - traffic or not is perfectly legal to do so  :lol

The Highway code is clear that all road rules and signals are advisory


what a load of sh!te.  where did you come up with that one?

try telling that to a judge when you run a "STOP" sign..............certain rules and signals are a "MUST" do eg the hexagonal red STOP sign and a Blue circle with 30 in it (mandatory minimum speed)

My point was all the rules are advisory in the sense that if somebody cross on a red light that does not give you an wild card to run him over. You always must drive with due care means the magic words "he was running red light your honour, which is a MUST cross on a green rule, hence I have run him over..." are not good enough for the judge to agree with you.
