Driver of EO60 LVS Sought for Prosecution Over Careless and Dangerous Driving on M5 Near Gloucester
The driver of a vehicle with the registration EO60 LVS is being sought for prosecution after being caught on camera engaging in careless and dangerous driving on the M5 near Gloucester. The incident, which took place earlier this week, involved lane hogging at speeds as low as 50 mph and reckless driving without using indicators.
Several motorists captured the erratic behavior on dashcams, reporting the driver for failing to keep to the left lane and creating a hazardous situation on the busy motorway. Lane hogging, particularly at low speeds, forces other drivers to overtake or navigate around the slower vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents.
Witnesses also reported the driver’s failure to signal while changing lanes, further adding to the danger posed to surrounding vehicles. One witness said, "It was incredibly frustrating and dangerous. The car just sat in the middle lane at 50 mph, causing others to brake suddenly and swerve. On top of that, there were no indicators being used, which made it hard to predict what the driver was going to do next."
Under UK law, lane hogging and failing to signal can be classified as careless driving, which carries penalties including fines and points on the driver’s license. Dangerous driving, which is a more serious offense, can result in harsher penalties, including disqualification and imprisonment.
Authorities are now reviewing the footage and gathering evidence to prosecute the driver of EO60 LVS. They are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward with further information.
Drivers are reminded to follow the rules of the road, especially on motorways like the M5, where proper lane discipline and signaling are essential for ensuring the safety of all road users.
