MAG - New Driving Offences

MAG welcomes the introduction of fixed penalties for those who hog the middle lanes of motorways and use mobile phones while driving.


While MAG is not generally in the business of encouraging legislation, the organisation does recognise the good sense of dealing with the issues that have been singled out for treatment.


Middle lane hogs and those who use mobile phones on the move are a menace on our roads and particularly threaten the safety of anyone on two wheels.


While police were already empowered to deal with these issues, the amendment to place them in the fixed penalty category brings a fresh focus to them that will probably be helpful.
