HC Deb 02 November 1970 vol 805 c287W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the legal sanctions and penalties attaching to each section of the Highway Code.

Mr. Peyton

No legal sanctions or penalties are attached to any specific section of the Highway Code but under Section 74 of the Road Traffic Act 1960 failure to observe a provision of the Code may in legal proceedings be relied upon to establish or to negative any liability of the parties concerned.
