Great idea as its a ticket that people can just pay rather than if you prosecute them automatically having to go to court.
I wouldn't worry about being able to prove it, should be quite easy. "The accused had been traveling in the middle lane of x road for x distance and for that entire the nearside lane was empty, clear and safe to travel in, there was no reason not to use it and the accused was causing a queue of traffic waiting to overtake" Point proved no?
I think the more interesting thing is that the fine for no insurance is going up to £300 so it'll hit people just a little bit more when they get caught. Shame the fine for no licence isn't the same.
