Mandate use of motorway cameras and technology to catch lane hoggers

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

The motorway network has a significant amount of cameras and sensors which can recognise numberplates, speed of vehicles, even weights of HGVs. As the UK moves to an AI approach and incorporates cameras for mobile phone usage and seat belt usage, there needs to be investment to catch and punish lane hogging, which causes great frustration and increases the chances of accidents on the UK roads.
