Drivers have been warned they could be hit with a fine if they are caught swearing at someone on the road.
Motorists can be handed a penalty for “disorderly conduct” under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. If you are caught swearing at another road user, verbally or with a hand gesture, you could be fined up to 75% of your weekly wage, capped at £1,000.
Drivers could also be fined for "not being in full control of a vehicle" if they take their hands off the wheel. This includes rude hand gestures or aggressive pointing. The CEO of Insurance Revolution said drivers must be aware of the rules.
