Tel, I Agree, hence me saying that lorry drivers have to overtake in responsible places(E.g not up a hill)

If the roads are that congested that a lorry trying to overtake a lorry causes significant delay then you're going to get caught in a jam anyway. Conversley in order to help reduce congestion lorry drivers(should and usually do) choose where they overtake. The same goes for cars that have no intention of accelerating past the other car, but would prefer to creep past.
So stop misquoting me

Ok then!

As I said before middle lane CAR drivers (in 95% of cases) are what cause most motorway congestion.

You is both wrong it is 99.999% or is it 99.998 i can never remember.

As Smith and Jones put it so well
"There are lies, damn lies, big prokie pies, whopping great big lies and statisitcs!"


I worry with less and less traffic police about due to speed and CCTV camera there is gonna be more bad drivers, road rage, etc. The camera does not replace them it should compliment them.
