Ever noticed that?

Go down any motorway and basically you're restricted to 2 lanes (assuming 3) or even 1 because trucks jam up the inside lane.
Nobody wants to travel in that lane because it's nigh on impossible to get out of it and you crawl along at 56mph.

Once the trucks start their endless game of 57mph tag, using the 2 inside lanes, the 3rd lane becomes the only useful one left....meaning it gets jammed solid.

I don't say ban trucks, I say why restrict them to 56mph (or whatever it is)

I've had some jam (strawberry) in my fridge for two years.

I can't bring myself to throw it out.

Wait another year, it'll crawl out on it's own.

Opened this expecting it to be a joke, bad driving not trucks is the problem, not that hard to get in a lane.

Its not just the lorries causing the traffic. I think its also the people sitting in the inside lane in their cars at 55mph. The lorries will attempt to overtake them with the car driver refusing to let off even a little to get the overtake over and done with.

To be honest the car drivers should be going faster than the speed of the Lorry's so that we dont get stuck behind overtaking lorry's. I know some will argue that the car driver may be nervous so is driving slow, but if you are that nervous dont drive on the motorway then, theres plenty of other routes. Some people dont realist the trouble they cause driving so slow.

They should be banned between the hours of 7am-9am and 4pm to 6pm to be honest.
