£100 on the spot fine for careless drivers come into force today

I can honestly see this cause more issues than is needed. I tend to leave a gap in front of me and twice today a car has cut in and slammed there breaks on bloody Shiite myself

This whole thing depends how it is enforced.  The big problem is that a lot of the enforcement is subjective.

If the notices are enforced reasonably then it won't be a problem.  If coppers decide to use them as a revenue generator, then the most important element of the whole situation is how to effectively challenge one of the notices, if you think it is unreasonable.  I would imagine PEPIPOO are all over this already.

I think it is unlikely this will cause more accidents.

Going to west country I see fast drivers weaving right to left and back again cars in all lanes slamming brakes on as drivers are more unpredictable and move over more then suddenly not matching speeds and moving out again?

I just think a lot of drivers on the road need to reliase that they are not the only ones there, especially when it comes to Mways. Like, some tool sitting in the middle or fast lane, there is just no need for it, as we all agree on. Not sure how much of a difference a £100 fine will make 

This topic is so subjective to different situations and the different police will think and act differently.

ti have 1 thing to say about this. people have been driving on motorways for many years without any serious bother. now we have a country in financial meltdown and all off a sudden peoples driving is under the scope. revenue!

You've not noticed all the crashes and subsequent closures then, the general standard of terrible driving (admittedly this tends to be more of a South East England problem) and complete disregard of other motorists.

Motorway driving needs more pro-active policing rather than unmarked cars driving around looking for people to fine. It's amazing how well the driving standards raise when there is a marked patrol car nearby

Same. Always wayne kerrs in the middle lane. Toward Blueqater you can almost work out they're going to try get over into the Bluewater lane. Always fun speed matching so that they can't.

Hmmmm, situation here, if I undertake a middle lane hogger ( not fast! ) just steady. Who will get the £100 fine?

Also anyone who uses brakes on the motorway (brake happy) should get the fine too. IF YOU NEED TO BRAKE YOUR TOO f**kING CLOSE TO THE CAR INFRONT. Keep your distance! simples!

Why would you undertake if there is an outside lane for you to use?
