Meteorology

Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the ambiance that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate and are explained by the science of meteorology. Those actions are bound by the variables that exist in Earth's atmosphere.

Highway Code

In many countries, the system of the road is codified, setting out the legal requirements and punishments for breaking them. In the United Kingdom, the rules are set out in the Highway Code, including some obligations, but also a lot of other advice on how to drive prudently and securely. For this second set of advice, it states: Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under Traffic Acts to establish liability. Many of its ex-colonies still retain this notice.
