[QUOTE="Flatland guy, post: 7956289, member: 6717"] Well now the highway code virtually gives any pedestrian or cyclist the number one right of a public highway and if true they do not have to have any bright clothing etc or not even be aware with their surroundings (headphones etc) on, my opinion is that by driving slow within the law I do not need any beacons on( e.g a normal tractor and trailer, if a car is approaching from behind, then the driver is not focused on their surroundings, if they cannot see a tractor driving at 24.5 mph and alter their speed accordingly, they are probably not going to see a pedestrian or cyclist for that matter. I do not drive a tractor on any dual carriageway, but can understand the law for them on them roads and they are probably crazy for a tractor to dive on. But around my way any decent road is nearly going to 40 or 50 mph for road safety to stop speeding and deaths, so the powers that be are trying to encourage slower driving all round. [/QUOTE]
