An Audi driver has been rapped by police for hogging the middle and outside lanes of an empty M4.

The driver was told to move out of lane two by police, but instead moved to lane three of the motorway.

The white car was spotted by a road policing unit driving in lane two of the M4 “for no reason” on June 23 around 9.18am.

The police “displayed a ‘do not hog middle lane’ sign”, but instead of moving to lane one the driver took to the outside lane.

The car was stopped and the driver was reported and “educated”.

Later, Wiltshire Special Operations shared two cars that had been found with the cords of their tyres exposed.

The first, a silver Corsa, pulled up beside a police car. A police spokesperson said: “A glance to the glinting metal in the tyre attracted our attention at the traffic lights.

“Once stopped checks revealed a provisional licence holder (no supervisor or L plates) and no insurance.”

The car was seized. Less than an hour later, Wiltshire Special Operations shared another stopped car with exposed cords.

A spokesperson said: “Another stop today, another tyre with cords exposed.”
