Details

Wheatley’s 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
