The seatbelt legislation has been in force since 1983, yet people still don't wear them!
I think the fine should have stayed at £60, but put the points up to 6 for mobiles. Quite a lot of people don't bother paying the fines, and end up in court. The points would hit them harder, specially the young and naive with less than 2 years behind the wheel. Instant ban!
As for bike filtering in the wrong lanes, I think its really aimed at impatient car drivers who take the piss. As for trucks using all lanes, well its in the highway code, and being an ex-HGV driver who used to drag 60 foot long trailers, you HAVE to negotiate some small roundabouts on the wrong side, regardless of the markings or you simply will not get round them!
Tailgating is going to be hard to prove from a cops point of view unless there's video evidence, and lane hoggers, well the selfish, lazy bastards get what they deserve, its about time that its ticketable!
I'm all for the change, regardless of it being just a money making scheme.
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!
