On the other hand, you've got the kind of people who either don't bother to read what's in front of them, or do and expect to break the rules when they feel like it, and get away with it.
Well put.
Although I'm generally unsympathetic with rule breakers, I think the rules for train fares in the UK are simply unfair and unnecessarily complicated. You can be "fined" like bensyd, when you're being perfectly honest.
I avoid trains in the UK and drive instead - and for what it's worth I don't have any gripes about speeding fines.
