Police would like to thank the public for their patience following the closure of a large section of the motorway, while officers dealt with this incident
NORTH West motorway police say a driver has been reported for "middle lane hogging" on the M60 near Oldham.
The incident was highlighted on the police's Facebook feed and drew praise from several users.
Craig Hudson posted: "Middle lane hogging is the worst."
Rita Pritchard said: "I keep banging on about using the matrix signs to tell middle lane hoggers to move over, and saw them saying just that on the M62. Best thing - saw people moving over to the empty lanes. Result!"
