On a three lane carriageway what is allowed, is not allowed to use it?

I find that recovery flat beds seem to like join a convoy of traffic at say 80 mph leaving visibility very limited.

Just curious.

HGV allowed in lane 1/2 only unless directed otherwise.

Could the flatbed recovery lorry been a 7.5t??
