Rule of the Moment: 24. Herding Cattle at Night.

Guest Content from our "colleagues" at The Myway Code.

After 75 years, the VDLA has decided to rewrite the Highway Code in line with the rules commonly encountered on the nation's roads. From now on, it will be known as The Myway Code and will be available from all good bookshops as well as this Amazon link. (Opens in a new window.)

Background details of key Myway Code Regulations.

For the purposes of The Myway Code, cattle are defined as four-legged domesticated ungulates of the genus Bos. Cattle is a plural term, the singular of cattle is Cat.

Rule 24 of The Myway Code states that you should normally herd cattle by day but where herding at night or in poor visibility is unavoidable, each animal MUST BE dressed in waterproof, high visibility clothing, similar to that used by motorway maintenance crews and other salt-of-the-earth, road-based-members of the lower classes. A hazard warning light is advisable.

High visibility cow coats are available from farm supply shops as well as many back-street party and fetish wear manufacturers.
