Motorist pulled over by police on M55 Blackpool for hogging middle lane

Lancashire Roads Police issued a video of the incident as an example to other drivers of how not to stop on a motorway on being pulling over.

The video shows the driver initially moving into the outside lane before moving over to the inside lane, and slowing right down before coming to a stop on the hard shoulder.

In a Tweet Lancashire Roads Police said: “Please take a moment to learn how NOT to stop on the motorway when requested to do so by police.

“Fortunately the drivers behind held back to a safe distance allowing this incident to come to a safe conclusion! M55 Blackpool.”
