Drivers who hog the middle lane or tailgate other cars face on-the-spot fines of £100 and three points on their licence. Fixed penalty notices could also be imposed for not giving way at a junction or using the wrong lane at a roundabout.
AA President Edmund King has welcomed Government plans to tackle middle lane hogs and drivers who tailgate other cars.
He said: “We are pleased to see that at long last new powers and fines will be given to the police to tackle the top three pet hates of drivers – tailgaters, mobile phone abusers and middle lane hogs.”
