It doesn't say that the Highway code is law or creates any criminal law though, does it?Just a small point here Jim. Highway code is not a law but a set of guidelines for Drivers/Riders/Pedestrians.
It can be quoted in Criminal or Civil cases by both parties and taken into account when deciding on cases. It does not in itself create any criminal law.
It says "The rules and laws of driving in the UK are printed in a booklet called the Highway code" (my italics) which is accurate because the relevant laws are referenced in the Highway Code.
