Quite right too, our roads are bad enough with people blocking them through entirely avoidable incidents.

Now if they can clamp down on the middle lane hogs too.

 

2nd driver to get a fine recently for running out of fuel on a38. (Or the DET rehashing the same article from a couple of weeks ago)

Hope it was a big fine ,should ban the nob as well .

Just £80 i think, but agree make it bigger as its entirely avoidable.

I think they should be able to give people a ticket just for being a knob.

Shouldn't be a ticket for running out of fuel a fixed penalty for being a t**** would do.

You can't argue against that in a court of law.

Didn't pick your Dogs crap up,dropped litter etc...fined for being a knob.

 Not indicating when you use an island. Fine em!

Its not necessarily unavoidable 

my car developed a fuel leak once and went through half a tank of petrol in no time.

Of course i dont know but i dare bet that statistically this is rare, i would imagine if you have a genuine fault like this the police would be more lenient.

Most of the time is just laziness.
