I was thinking about this at lunch (thrilling detail that eh?), as I walked around London watching the various traffic offences committed by the majority of vehicles.
Before embarking on shared use, segregated paths, different light phasing, etc etc why don't we try enforcing the current rules and regulations?
Oliver mentioned this the other day- it seems that in the UK we simply don't have any enforcement of traffic regs- that which we do have tends to either be focussed on a specific junction for a couple of mornings, or done via camera and therefore long after the fact.
Before we introduce strict liability why not introduce strict enforcement - if someone has managed to tot up 12 points on one journey by driving with no regards to speed limits, bus lanes, ASL's etc then lets get them banned for 2 years with a compulsory re-test before they get a licence again.
