THE ROAD CODE
LEGAL OR CHATTY LANGUAGEA seeming discrepancy between the road code and the official road traffic regulations was defined by LieutenantColonel C. M. Rout (Nelson) as the sort of thing that might happen when an attempt was made to reduce the legal phraseology of regulations into “ something chatty and easy to understand.” The road code put things in a common-sense way, but it had no legal standing, and he advocated that it should be given a legal standing, as it possessed in England. The discrepancy discussed concerned the definition of inter-sections in the right-hand rule.
