Rules of the Road
Road laws are the rules and regulations that all users of the road are required to follow. Though these laws do apply to all road users, they are of particular relevance to motorists and cyclists.
The basic road rules are written in an agreement, internationally recognised under the authority of the UN and are in place to govern the actions taken between road users, and between road users and pedestrians.
These laws are not concrete in every country, and there are different local variations in the countries that it does apply in. On top of these basic road laws, there is a set of unspoken rules that are generally understood by road users.
As a general rule, and rather an obvious one, drivers are expected to avoid colliding with pedestrians or another vehicle, whether or not the set-in-stone road rules allow them to be where they are.
As well as the written or unwritten laws and rules, traffic signs and traffic lights must be followed. Instructions can also be given by a police officer, either routinely, i.e. a traffic warden on a busy crossing instead of traffic lights, around a road works zone, accident, or other road disruption.
As is inevitable with any set of laws, these laws get broken. If you should find yourself on the wrong side of any of these laws, whether it was something you would consider a minor offence e.g. travelling just a little over the speed limit. Or if it was accidental, e.g. a collision with another vehicle, the best course of action would be to hire a professional with experience in road traffic laws to defend you.
Finding the right person should not be a decision that is taken lightly, in fact, the right person with enough experience will be your best defence should it be taken to court.
Your ideal candidate will be a specialist road law firm as they will undoubtedly provide a better and more knowledgeable service than traditional law firms that dabble around in all areas of the law. - 21392
