'Smart motorway' offenders could be offered retraining
Smart motorways operate variable speed limits and can open the hard shoulder to traffic to reduce congestion. Current smart motorways include sections of the M25, M6, M4 and M1. Suzette Davenport from the NPCC said the scheme would help motorists who are confused about when to use the hard shoulder as an extra lane. "We don't have national driver offender retraining courses for the motorways. So if you get caught on the motorway you are going to get a ticket." The RAC wants motorways - and the rules surrounding smart motorways - included in the driving test. "There is probably a shortfall currently, where somebody passes their test today, having never set foot on the motorway and off they go tomorrow on a 70 mile per hour speed limit motorway, some of which might be dynamic or all lanes running."
