The Government must ensure that cameras, sensors etc on motorways are used effectively to catch lane hoggers in the same way they are used to catch people who speed.

Introduce penalties for motorway middle lane hoggers & decriminalise undertaking
Stricter rules for middle lane hoggers (driver awareness courses, fines and points for repeat offenders). Zero punishment or penalties for undertaking on the motorway if there’s a middle lane hogger.
Remove speed cameras from motorways to improve safety and fairness
We want the Government to remove speed cameras from motorways in England. There is strong evidence that they distract drivers, cause sudden braking and confusion when limits change, and increase accident risk. The focus should be on education and clear, consistent speed limits instead.
Ban HGV overtaking on motorways to help improve safety and traffic flow
The Government should introduce a ban on heavy goods vehicles overtaking on motorways, with exceptions only for passing stationary or broken-down vehicles. This should be supported by clear signage, effective enforcement, penalties, and alignment with road safety practices in parts of Europe.
Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles
Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles. We think these cameras invade drivers’ privacy, breach data protection principles, and harm mental health without clear safety benefits. Only road-facing or external cameras should be allowed.
Review traffic enforcement policies & mandate bolder signage & advance warnings
To protect vulnerable motorists the Government should require councils to consider hardship and mental health in traffic enforcement action. It should review current enforcement policies to ensure they are proportionate, humane, and safe.
