Figures reveal impact of careless driving laws
Monday 17th March 2014 17:12
New traffic laws to curb lane hogging and tailgating, have seen traffic cops pull over more than 5,000 motorists in the past six months. These figures came to light after a freedom of information request which was sent to all 45 forces to see how many were stopped and why. These laws allow police to issue on the spot fines and licence points to drivers for careless driving such as lane hogging, tailgating or wheelspins. Drivers can also be dealt with by the way of an educational course, similar to the drink driving scheme offered to cut the length of a driving ban.
