New on the spot fines

[c-m]

What do you make of the new fines that have recently come into force.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23713732

Amongst them are lane hogging, and failing to give way, but as a biker the one that caught my attention was:

• Overtaking and pushing into a queue of traffic
• Inappropriate speed


Does this now mean we're likely to get fined for filtering?

What the hell is inappropriate speed? I bet it won't get applied to those driving too slowly, like it probably should do. Instead they'll use it to say you went xx mph through that big puddle, my car could only go x mph through it. That kind of nonsense.

Back in the day. You'd have got a stern telling off and quite possibly a fine, just for being on the 'overtaking' lane on the motorway when there was no one on the left to overtake.

It should have stayed that way. But it gets harder to enforce when ever increasing traffic is doing more of the same thing.

Maybe they can do automatic licence plate detection and then send off the fine by post like they do for bus lanes or yellow boxes? Or would the police have to physically stop them?

Surely the user can take pictures of cars in the wrong and at the end of the day give it to a team of people to start looking up addresses and start posting away?

And yes, Police on the motorway are rarer than police in police stations.
