I agree ASLs are a poor bit of infrastructure, and this is in part because the rules around them are obscure and poorly enforced. But while they exist we can make an effort to help them be implemented.
Why do the police enforce RLJ rules for cyclists? Because people complain about it. How can we get ASLs enforced? Complain about it.
When drink driving laws first came in many people ignored them and it took concerted efforts to educate the public and enforce the rules but it has decreased.
Preaching to the perverted on here will not make any difference, we will all agree that some drivers attitudes are not great, the question is what do you want to do to help facilitate change? A lot of people are morally ambivalent, but averse to financial costs, so if they are concerned of a fine for encroaching into the ASL this will affect their attitude.
