With more and more posts regarding middle Lane hogging there seems to be nothing happening about it in a hurry
I'm sure if middle lane hogging is reduced then this will also lead to less people hogging the outside lane on DC's also.

How about signing this epetition.

Can only help if enough people pass this on and sign it.
Takes about 3 minutes to sign and confirm your email address.

Cheers!

From what i've seen and what I read from others, it hasn't had any effect.

Without education it's going to be pointless.

It has only been in force for just over a month.

Education is preferable to punishment, but why limit it to middle lane hogging? The petition just comes across as focussing on someone's pet hate with the final sanction being the same as the one already put in place.

A national campaign of adverts and public information films for improved driving standards would be great, but I can't see it happening any time soon given the costs involved.
