Highway Code for everyone
The Highway Code is a compulsory subject for primary school kids during 8 years. It is one of the 58 core goals to learn. Goal 35 about behaviour on the road and as consumer and is part of a larger subject called ‘Orientation of yourself and the World’. This subject is about people and society, nature and technique, space and time. That way everyone is ready to follow the Code from an early age, not only drivers that need to pass exams to get their driving license.
