Code of Conduct (CoC) - “Principles, values, standards, or rules of behaviour that guide the decisions, procedures and systems of an individual in a way that (a) contributes to the welfare of my key stakeholders (my family and country), and (b) respects the rights of all road users affected by my usage.” My definition paraphrased from Wikipedia extract of International Federation of Accountants, 2007 International Good Practice Guidance, “Defining and Developing an Effective Code of Conduct for Organizations”.
Why a personal code of conduct, yet there is the Traffic and Road Safety Act 1998, that governs road usage. Over the 6 weeks, I have been spending an average of 2.5 hours on the road in 2019, and my engineering mind feels a need to derive some structure to my decision-making process on the road, which by public declaration means I can be held accountable. There is a lot of craziness, madness and road rage exhibited by all of us on the road, so I am trying to be the change I want to see in the world
My CoC captures the “spirit” of my use of the road, irrespective of what everyone else is doing, but all in line with basic road safety rules and regulations, plus common sense.
I pledge to:
