I agree that telling anyone to do anything doesn't mean they will do it (change their habits). However, educating people does allow them to make better decisions. Rules themselves aren't always the best/optimal/safest solution either and being loose may be the best solution. For example, in one country in Asia if you are "in-front" of someone you have the right to merge/enter a roadway/get on a free way/change lanes over the person already in the lane. This is just cultural and is so much better than what we have in the west (like the USA). If someone changes lanes and "hits you", it is your fault (unless you were in-front of them). Makes it so much easier to get on the free way, change lanes, etc. as you only have to worry about what is in front of you. Not what is in front of you, behind you, next to you, etc. There are no "blind spots" etc.
