Driving laws to clamp down on the problem have been in place 'for more than 10 years' but are still a 'common sight' across UK routes, according to the RAC

Experts are calling for stricter penalties to tackle a dangerous issue on Britain's roads. RAC specialists believe that "more enforcement" is needed to address the problems of middle lane hogging and tailgating.

Rod stated: "Middle lane hogging and tailgating aren't just irritating driving habits; both are illegal and dangerous, which is why we're in full support of National Highways' campaign." He further noted: "Penalties for middle lane hogging and tailgating have been in place for more than 10 years, yet both are unfortunately still a common sight on our fastest roads."

According to National Highways, offences of lane hogging and tailgating fall under the category of careless driving.
