They are not laws but it is referred to as 'rule 59'.

Unfortunately true - ridiculously the whole Highway Code is advice, not law.

Which results in judges often explicitly directing jurors to ignore the Highway Code when motorists have killed or seriously injured a cyclist.

It's insane.

Can you elaborate this @fox ? What exact status do the 'Must' rules have? Do you know what makes something dangerous driving as opposed to careless?
