Not The Features Ed Blog: The Rules Of The Road By Marking the ninetieth anniversary of one of Britain’s most successful publications, Laura Brown dives into the history of the Highway Code in this week’s issue with a nostalgic look back at the rules of the road. First published on April 14, 1931, priced one old penny, the code has sold millions of copies and can claim to have saved many thousands of lives.

That greenhouse gases figure includes food wasted before it ever gets to households.
