Here in Belgium, on all 2-lane motorways trucks are limited to the inside lane between the hours of 6am to 7pm, and it's quite actively policed. On 3-lane motorways, they can use 2 of the 3 lanes.
It has made driving on some routes a bit easier, but I have a feeling that we've seen more bad truck accidents since it was introduced, often with fatalities.
Had the misfortune to get stuck in one of those once. I hope to superior being that that is never implemented here.It has made driving on some routes a bit easier, but I have a feeling that we've seen more bad truck accidents since it was introduced, often with fatalities.

I propose that trucks be fitted with a KERS device, which they're allowed to activate once a day, that works for a period of a few minutes and also both removes the speed limiter and plays Kickstart My Heart at max volume.
The first actual idea that could work.Otherwise you d just have people using it ll day to get where ever quicker.

You know, I know the post is a few days old, but thought I'd come back to appreciate it some more. Just pulled out and passed 3 cars doddling along a straight B-road at 35-40 in my flatbed. Wish I had come Crue loaded up . Technically my wagon is old enough that I think the fridge magnet trick still works to pop the limiter off, could have done that for added effect & popped the beacons on. Think I scared the st out of the little Aygo at the front of the queue mind. 8 very large wheels flying passed at a ~16mph speed differential ought to wake you up, specially as it was a bit of a ballsy pass based on the width and undulation of the road.
