Car Reg NG13 XVY Caught Lane Hogging on M6, Evidence to Be Sent to Crown Prosecution Service
A driver in a vehicle with registration NG13 XVY has been caught lane hogging on the M6 motorway, sparking outrage among fellow motorists. The incident was captured by Global247news, who have announced their intention to submit the footage to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for prosecution.
The driver was observed occupying the middle lane at a slow speed, creating unnecessary traffic congestion and potentially increasing the risk of accidents. Lane hogging, which is the practice of remaining in the middle or outside lanes when the inside lane is free, is a violation of UK traffic laws and can result in fines and penalty points on the offender's driving licence.
Global247news, who captured the footage, highlighted that this type of reckless driving endangers all road users. A spokesperson for the platform said, "This is not just an inconvenience, it’s dangerous. Lane discipline is essential for keeping our roads safe, and this individual’s disregard for the rules is unacceptable."
The footage, which shows the driver failing to return to the inside lane after overtaking, will be provided to the CPS for further action. If prosecuted, the driver of NG13 XVY could face significant penalties under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 for careless driving.
Authorities have reminded drivers that proper lane discipline not only helps improve traffic flow but also reduces accidents and ensures safer journeys for all.
