For your info - Back in June the Government announced it was to make it easier for police to penalise lane-huggers and other anti-social motorists with the introduction of on-the-spot fines for careless driving.
Coming into force this Friday, the new fines will mean any driver caught doing a wide-range of careless actions will face a £100 fine and three penalty points on their licence.
Under the new rules, police will be able to fine anyone found to be tailgating, failing to give way at a junction, queue jumping, using the wrong lane on a roundabout and ignoring lane closure signs.
However, motoring organisations have criticised the Government for not raising awareness of the new penalties, saying that many motorists risk being fined without even realising they were committing an offence............................................
My only criticism is why are the motoring organisations saying more awareness should be made... ?
If they drove to the letter of the law/rules/regulations they would already be aware.... :thumb:
