Antisocial driving is what people complained about, which got the cops to look more closely at the cars in question. This is stated in the first two paragraphs of the article.

I mean I guess antisocial could mean nuisance. It’s still a rather strange term to use in a headline but I’ll consider it a regional difference in language.
Antisocial means being hostile to society, not just being uncomfortable with socializing. Many people assume antisocial means being shy or introverted because the it’s a reasonable conclusion from the two parts of the word, but it really means hostile to others. Especially in a medical context where Antisocial personality disorder is the proper title for Sociopathy.

Maybe it’s a UK thing but made sense to me and I understood it fully from context.
I didn’t even need to open the article to understand that 😕
