'Just more ways to make money': Reaction to driving rule enforcement changes

Last week saw news emerge that the council could be given the power to fine drivers for breaking rules at seven junctions across the city.

It would see motorists charged up to £70 over traffic offences such as blocking yellow boxes or failing to obey banned turns. With a six week public consultation due before the scheme is planned to come into effect in May 2023, we want to know what you think about the possible changes.Warnings would be dished out before a full £70 fine, and it's hoped that the measures will limit inconsiderate driving, remove blockages to help with public transport and potentially improve air quality.

Some readers have already responded unhappily to the news, with one saying: "It is impossible not to be caught by this. Has anyone ever considered the stress this causes people and just how unsafe it is.There were more displeased readers, with one adding: "The council slowly trying to turn us into a city where either cars are banned or a full on congestion charge is brought in.

"All the comments about it being anti-motorist don't make sense...it's motorists that drive correctly who benefit from idiots not being allowed to block junctions!"READ NEXT:

Inconsiderate and anti-social driving are a major problem in this city so I fully support this but would like to see action on a lot more than just 7 junctions.
