Not much better on the continent, either - except for the right-side driving, of course. (There actually is a law around these parts that says "no trucks in the fast lane" - guess how effective it is)
- georgerobinson 11y agoI don't think it's just an issue of no trucks on the fast lane. If you drive on 3 or 4 lane roads, such as the M25, there is a visible disturbance to traffic flow even when a truck enters lane 2 on a 4 lane road. This has the effect of pushing all people that drive between 60 and 70mph out of lane 2 and into lane 3, where the average speed is between 70 and 80mph. This, in turn, pushes slower moving traffic into Lane 4 (inside lane) where its not uncommon to see people driving between 80 and 90mph. The overall net result is an awful amount of breaking, lane changing and short spacing between cars.
