there is a law, there are still head-on collisions. So it clearly doesn't prevent them
If there had been a breakdown blocking the lane, would you wait patiently behind the broken down car until it was repaired or towed, rather than cautiously (though illegally) moving into the oncoming land to turn right? Most people would accept that sensible risk. I don't mind people wanting to be law abiding, but being absolutist over things like road laws somewhat ignores their intent

Just remember to say the magic words "cancer patients" whenever you get caught doing something illegal, the police will apologise and let you on your way.

my own approach (in London) is to start an apology and then interupt myself by saying "Weren't you in Hendon in XXXX?"*
in the hope of establishing some sort of connection that might tempt them to let me off, based on a brief period I spend developing eLearning at the police training college and having two hour lunches every day due to non-existent supervision of us contractors
