It is illegal now, it's always been. The current legislation says if you are driving into the box when the light is turning from amber to red, then you are fine. i.e during rush hours when there are lots of traffics and you though you could go through the green light etc. But if you drive into the box when it's the red light is on, then it's illegal, but because it's almost impossible to prove how a car ends up in the box at the first place, the police don't do fuck all. Not that they would do anything even if they can prove it. In fact, I can't remember who it was, but a friend told me he once saw a police car went into the box during the red light so he asked them if it's illegal to do so, the police says it's not. Lovely stuff.
