Have you ever wondered what life on the roads would be like if LGVs did not overtake each other at any and every given opportunity, and a law was passed to prohibit it?

Picture the scene as it is currently, lorries making serene, stately, steady progress along the major arterials of our country, occasionally pulling out to overtake a marginally slower lorry, a jaunty signal to thank the lorry being overtaked for ‘flashing me’ back in, perfect harmony really, on we all go.
Picture the scene if overtaking was forbidden. No overtaking, long queues of lorries effectively in convoy in the left-hand lane. On and off the accelerator, on and off the brake, difficult journeys, horrendous.
Is this what you’d prefer? Is this what you’d prefer as your off ramp approaches?
Thought not.
