Quad5point1 1st Apr 2019 | | BookThe Highway Code - HMSO (1965) | Thought I would add this copy from 1965. It's a beauty, i had to laugh at the page with the policeman doing hand signals and what they meant, I doubt any policeman in the UK today would have a baldy notion of how to direct traffic in case of traffic light failures or accidents. Could maybe send a copy of this to the PSSNI and see if we can maybe get some training going and get the police back out on the beat.
