Good point, didnt mean to mis-lead, was just happy to see a middle lane hogger being pulled for it.Yeah well it’s a shame they didn’t seize it for the lane hogging, it might make a few others think twice
That would require a change in the law. S165A Road Traffic Act (which gives police authority to seize uninsured etc vehicles) only applies where it is being driven without a licence and/or insurance.
Enlarging this power to allow vehicles to be seized on a whim for any offence would be seen as a step too far.

Yep., seizing the car would be a bit ott.
The situation does need sorting btw, proper lane discipline is virtually non existent.
Maybe starting with an old style public info advert campaign, wuth some kind of catchy sound bite that people will remember.
Definitely more high profile Policing of the motorway as it once was, possibly Hato given power to police it would be a start, or maybe they already have?
It’s worse in roadworks where there is a 50 limit, they sit in the middle lane at 40 in a line like some kind of procession which can be frustrating and annoying, …and encourages the clowns in trucks to tailgate …even when there are kids in the back of the offending car.
