"Illegally" entering the ASL would, of course, mean that he was
caught on CCTV driving into the box while the traffic light was at
STOP or red as practically any other situation would be legal. He even
ADMITTED regularly driving into the ASLs illegally, in
court under oath!

Motorists are not very bright.
There was a case where a Taxi driver admitted to swerving at a
cyclist. In his defence he said "I only meant to scare him".
Fortunately the jury recognised that deliberately driving a motor
vehicle at a primary road user was an admission of guilt and found
him guilty of Death by Dangerous Driving.


You failed all your attempts at the driving test, then?



Jester is a well known pillock and is not worthy of a reply.


He's obviously not bright enough to have become a "motorist", or to
realise that if he had, he would be describing himself as "not very bright".
