Do 4 lane motorways work?

[anonymous-user]

I've done a fair few miles these last 4 days and encountered a few of the 4 'laners'.
The problem is that a lot of people struggle to use a regular 3 lane motorway but let's not dive into that again...

The idea is to ease congestion but I've not seen such madness in a while. People weaving in and out, left lane going faster than the second to left. Two lots of middle lane hoggers and then the usual idiots in the "fast" lane. It seemed a lot lot worse than the usual 3 lane ones and it got me thinking that I don't actually remember the last time I thought "this is working well" on anything that wasn't a near empty motorway.

All seems a bit of a waste of money to be honest. A case of more is less.

Opinions?

I use 4 lane stretches of motorways regularly, and that video is entirely typical of what I do. I'll nip out of L1 into the other lanes to overtake the odd thing, then come back over and resume barreling up the inside of all the fools. Long may it last.
