A trial of new cameras to clamp down on tailgaters have, in the space of two weeks, identified 10,000 motorists committing the offence.
Highways England has teamed up with various police forces to test the use of new technology on major roads. The trial is part of a wider government campaign to target an offence that it claims causes 130 deaths on the road each year.
The opening fortnight of the trial has shown just prevalent tailgating is, with almost 10,000 motorists caught in the act of driving too close to the vehicle in front – an offence which can be punished with a fine of £100 and three points on a driver’s licence.
