The government is planning to introduce fixed penalty notices for careless driving.
The new proposals would make any driver caught driving carelessly liable to receive a £90 fine and three points on their licence.
More serious offences such as causing death by dangerous driving will still go through the courts, but drivers will face an on-the-spot fine for less serious breaches such as:
- Tailgating
- Being in the wrong lane on a roundabout
- Ignoring a lane closed sign and pushing into a queue
- Hogging the middle lane on a motorway
- Driving at an inappropriate speed
- Wheel spins
Do you agree with these proposals or not? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
