Well now..... a new motoring law

Apparently they now have the power to impose a fixed penalty for poor lane discipline...... 

 

How I laughed when I read this, I'd love to see this enforced...... I travel from Bromsgrove to Bradwell and return every week, the only time I see the plod is at the more serious events that seem to be caused by this sort of behavior, and to be honest it's mostly the plod from Stanstead Airport that seem to have any visible presence.

 

Tell me then, did we the tax payers really stump up for the prats in London to come up with that little gem ? or will the next step to give the plastic plod aka highways agency, (you know the ones that close two thirds of a road so that a wheel can be changed) new powers to decide guilt???

I've not been asleep, I knew that the measures had been announced a while back, I thought the news article today was to let us all know that it has come into force...... but hey ho.... has anyone any idea where we'd get the official figures for tickets issued since the change..... I'd lay a sizeable sum on less than 20 countrywide.....

Thought this had been in force for about a year now. I did notice that it has made absolutely no difference.

To fill my time whilst driving the length of the M6 in the middle lane at 56mph I was browsing the BBC website.

I was so shocked to read this, I briefly swerved into the slow lane...

I won't be making that mistake again any time soon..!

The news article you quoted was from 2013... was there another one that you meant to post?
