Answers
Answer:
The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they do advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident.
Signals
103
Signals warn and inform other road users, including pedestrians (see 'Signals to other road users') of your intended actions. You should always:
give clear signals in plenty of time, having checked it is not misleading to signal at that time
use them to advise other road users before moving off, changing course or direction or stopping
cancel them after use
make sure your signals will not confuse others - if, for instance, you want to stop after a side road, do not signal until you are passing the road
if you signal earlier it may give the impression that you intend to turn into the road
your brake lights will warn traffic behind you that you are slowing down
Use an arm signal to emphasise or reinforce your signal if necessary.
Remember that signalling does not give you priority.
104
You should also:
watch out for signals given by other road users and proceed only when you are satisfied that it is safe
be aware that an indicator on another vehicle may not have been cancelled
105
You must obey signals given by police officers and Driver and Vehicle Agency Enforcement Officers (see 'Signals by authorised persons') and signs used by school crossing patrols.
Laws RTRO Art 60, RTO 1995 Arts 49, 75 & 76, & RTO 1981 Arts 180 and 180A
106 (Police stopping procedures)
If police in a vehicle want to stop your vehicle, they will, where possible, attract your attention by:
flashing blue lights or headlights or sounding their siren or horn, usually from behind
directing you to pull over to the side by pointing and/or using the left indicator
You must then pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Then switch off your engine.
