US EditionDrivers Warned of £100 Fine for Common Motorway Mistake that Breaks Highway Code
- Drivers are cautioned that occupying the middle lane without overtaking on UK motorways may result in a £100 penalty and the addition of three points to their driving licence, as this is considered a violation of the Highway Code.
- This crackdown follows longstanding rules, including Rule 264 and 268, that require drivers to keep left unless overtaking, with careless driving penalties introduced in 2013.
- Middle-Lane hogging disrupts motorway traffic flow, causes frustration, and can lead to dangerous overtaking and increased accident risks during busy summer travel periods.
- On the M6, a silver BMW was seized after its driver undertook an unmarked police vehicle and was found with an MOT expired 10 months prior, illustrating strict enforcement.
- The increased enforcement aims to improve road safety by encouraging drivers to use the left lane unless overtaking and to reduce inconsiderate behaviours like middle-lane hogging and undertaking.
