Dozy arsed lane hogger gets points and a fine...

Now please repeat on the M1 and M25.

Preferably hundreds of times a day.

If they can't drive, they shouldn't be on the roads...

[original PM]

well it's about time...

do you think they will ever do anything about the hypermileing tw@s that do 53 in the inside lane causing all the lorries etc. to have to pull out to over take them causing absolute fookin chaos for miles behind them?

Minimum speed limit needed.

I wonder how many people are prosecuted for overtaking middle laners on the left?

[vetran]

flaming lorries playing leapfrog all the time turns a 3 lane highway into a 2 lane one.

about time they limited it to a max overtake distance say 1/2 a mile.

Rubberneckers to be fined too

well on the bike I reckon I see about a third of under 50's drivers are on their mobiles holding them in traffic jams etc.

its about time the Police started doing people for being on a mobile.

On the M1 junctions 14 down to 9, lorries dominate. For some reason, many of them will not use the inside lane (hard shoulder becomes lane 1 in rush hour, and speed limit becomes 60). So they occupy lanes 2 and 3, while cars squeeze past on either side, legally/illegally.

They should prosecute those taking pictures.

But imagine you are driving past at usual speed. You turn to take a quick look. Then get caught. Is that fair?

Of course if you slow down or even stop then you should be fined. But when does a "quick glance" become a "long glance" and turn into an offence?

Police would need video, not just pictures, to prove anything.

I just undertake middle lane hoggers to make a point, they either (a) realise the error of their ways and return to the inside lane; or (b) are too stupid to realise what they are doing and remain there in their own world.

HGV's should be banned from lanes 2 and 3 except to overtake exceptionally slow vehicles. It pisses me off when one is slipstreaming another, pulls out to overtake, does do at about V+0.5mph and so causes a rolling road block for about 3 miles.
