What does the hierarchy of road users, introduced in the Highway Code in January 2022, say about responsibility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Those who can cause the most harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger they pose
- Step 1: The hierarchy is about the potential to cause harm. Step 2. Lorries and vans carry more responsibility than cars, and cars more than cyclists, who carry more than pedestrians. Answer: Those who can cause the most harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger they pose. Why not the others: Vulnerable users are protected by the rule, and neither right of way nor experience is the test.
