Default Reduce Traffic - Turn left on a RED


If enough drivers just start turning left through red lights anyway the
police aren't going to take any notice and it will become normal. It'll be
just like law the forbidding people to use their mobile phones whilst
driving which has become a complete JOKE. Another example is cyclists
riding being 'allowed' to ride through red lights.

Everyone speeds depsite its illegal and they get fined. This is not
the soloution to the problem as the autorties will simply put a camera
on every single traffic light and send you a £50 snap everytime people
go through one.
And ask for mobile phone users in cars I think your find most police
forces are having a trial period for the new law before cracking down.
I think your find people are being fined for using mobile phones while
driving but at the moment the police are letting the new law establish
itself before getting tough. Also like all driving laws some people
get away with it. Some don't.
