Another stupid motoring "law" that is

a. Already covered under the highway code
b. Unenforceable
c. Petty
 
They should also have a law to stop people listening to **** music with their windows down, too.
 
They should do something about undertaking as well.

Yeah, they should fine middle and outside lane hoggers so that it doesn't happen.

They should also fine people that overtake people who are doing 70mph, by doing 71mph. If you want to get past them, put your foot down.

The very fact that they have introduced an on the spot fine will go some way to enforcing it.

are you saying break the law lol
 
No bigger whopper than the whopper that comes right up your arse in the middle when your doing 70mph then gestures to you your in the wrong. The law says 70 mph if you want to brake the law, fine overtake using the outside lane.
If you're in the middle and you're not overtaking something then you're in the wrong as well.
 
This worries me- especially the 3 points. If Im on a fairly busy motorway and Im in the middle and I see a lorry in teh slow ahead of me- I will sit in the middle to pass it.

Just hope they dont use it as another cash cow.

Agree but the amount of times I'm in the middle lane and some whopper is up my arse gesturing is untrue. I refuse to go above 70mph and I'm in the middle lane cause I'm overtaking traffic in the left hand lane, I should not be put under pressure to speed up.

No. In that instance they should overtake you using the right hand lane.

I can't see them being able to enforce it very thoroughly though.
 
I'll be trying to stay in the left a lot more after this

I tend to normally only go in the left lane if I'm coming off in the next 10-15 mins

I honestly think that driving in the middle lane for a prolonged perod is safer than swerving out every 2-3 mins to overtake someone and then going back into the left lane. People in the left lane drive at 50 and 60 mph sometimes. If everyone in the left lane drove to the speed limit, I don't think you'd have as many people driving in the middle
