POLICE have sketched up the effects of people who choose to sit in the middle lane of a motorway.

A common source of road-rage can be people who stay in the middle lane, refusing to move for faster cars and blocking people from overtaking.

Officers from Thames Valley Police today released a drawing outlining the effects of middle lane hogging, which also warned drivers that they could be fined up to £100 if they are caught.

A police spokesman said that drivers caught sitting in the middle lane without good reason could also have points deducted from their license.
