There was an item on driving offence cameras (e.g. box junction
offences, red light offences, right turn offences, bus lane offences
etc), as following successful trials in London they are now being
rolled out nationally. Paul from Safe Speed (a regular poster on this
group) was interviewed and argued against such measures stating his
view that that they did not *prevent * such offences, merely
*punished* but did not reduce the number of offices.
Hmmm , so an increased chance of being caught doesn't act as a deterrent at
all........
I'd be interested to know what he would propose that could prevent someone
blocking a box junction.

would probably work. Bit messy though.
