I know anything pulling a trailer can't go in the outside lane but I still often see cars with trailers in the outside lane. Is there a weight limit as well as no trailers allowed in the outside lane?

I did saw it was the 70s Neil, even then you couldn't undertake anybody on the inside, there were usually only 3 lanes in those days, only 2 on part of the M5, but HGV and cars with trailers were also excluded from what was known as the overtaking lane, 3rd lane, that included caravans too, I think car towing a caravan were also limited to 50mph
