Sort of re inventing the wheel , is it not?
Seem to remember in the dim and distant past we had people like that, specially and highly trained drivers , and totally impartial, part of who's job was to spot poor driving and try to educate the culprit.
Seem to remember that somewhere up north ( Durham??) they still pursue this old fashioned trait and have the lowest accident rate in UK.
Would suggest that this would be the path to follow.
So you see it works! The only problem with those people though is that they are easily recognised. People will only modify their driving when they think they are being watched. You only have to look at the effect of a patrol car on a motorway, and the bunching and congestion it causes, to see that.
Not so daft our enforcers though - occasionally to quite often the gents would remove their caps, remove the markings and get out and see what joe public was up to when it thought no one was watchng.
Best example of this was on M1 J21 -24 IN LATE 80'S --the cloc was out in force , a Red Astra appeared, people got stopped and sanity returned.Word soon spread.
