I am quite often unable to
proceed due to traffic illegally blocking a box junction, and I welcome an
increase in the chances of them being caught and prosecuted.
Surely it's better (in the long term) to create drivers with more
appreciation for others ? And surely the way to do that is not to instill
ever deeper a feeling that you can do whatever you like as long as you don't
break one of the miriad of rules ?
That's the problem with automated enforcement - it removes personal
responsibility and encourages an attitude of "blindingly following the
rules". Unfortunately, it's impossible to create a set of rules that will
cover every situation unless you make one very simple one "drive with
consideration for others and responsibility for your actions" !
