Laws on the Road
The laws of the road are the rules that all road users must abide by. They are for cyclists and motorists to pay particular attention to, although they are meant for all road users.
These laws govern interactions between vehicles and between vehicles and pedestrians. The very basic rules of the road are laid down by an international agreement under the authority of the UN, the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.
There are different local variations of these laws to be found throughout the UN and on top of these, there are some unspoken rules that road users are universally aware of.
An example of these unspoken rules (and probably the most obvious one) is that drivers are expected to avoid crashing into anything or anyone, whether or not the written laws allow the crash hazard to be where they are.
Traffic signs and lights must be followed at all times, as well as the written and unwritten laws. Direction can also be given by a police officer e.g. instead of traffic lights, a traffic warden can sometimes be seen on a busy crossing, an accident zone or any other 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.
The right person really will prove to be an invaluable asset to your defence should it be taken as far as the courtrooms.
The candidate best suited to the job will be a road law specialist because they will undoubtedly be far more knowledgeable than someone who tries to span themselves across all areas of the law. - 21396
