"the maximum speed limit is NOT a target..."

I have my driving theory test on tuesday, so much of this weekend has been spent ignoring any homework that isn't due before wednesday and reading the Highway Code. A weekend of cramming this will hopefully have me set for 50+ years of driving...



I was shocked to find under article 206 that I should drive slowly and carefully when...
"...passing parked vehicles, especially ice cream vans; children are more interested in ice cream than traffic"

Are ice cream vans really that much a feature of modern British life that they warrant a particular mention in the Highway Code? I don't think I've even seen one since I was about 4, and my edition was published in 2007!
