Police in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire ticketed drivers for "lane hogging" and phone use on the M40, enforcing Highway Code rules.
Thames Valley Police patrolled the M40 in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire on March 15, 2026, targeting drivers who stayed in the middle lane without overtaking, a practice known as "lane hogging."
Officers enforced Highway Code rule 264, which requires drivers to use the left lane when clear and return to it after passing slower vehicles.
Remaining in the middle or right lanes without overtaking may be classified as careless driving, leading to £100 fines and three penalty points.
The enforcement also included a driver using a mobile phone while driving, a serious safety violation.
The effort underscores ongoing police measures to improve traffic flow and road safety on UK motorways.
