Description

Wheatleys Road Traffic Law in Scotland is a highly regarded source of reference for all those involved in the detection and prosecution of road traffic offences, with all the relevant law and authority presented in a clear and accessible style. The seventh edition of this text updates case law and takes account of: - The impact of brexit on existing statutory provisions. - New drug driving regulations - Revised highway code which fundamentally shifts roads in favour of pedestrians/cyclists and will most likely increase driving offences. - Sentencing for death-by-driving cases given apparent determination in recent cases to provide distinctly Scottish guidance from the Scottish Sentencing Council. - New proposed offence of death by dangerous cycling.
