My son is an HGV driver and drives all over Britain. His journeys are worked out, in terms of driving time, so he can get to his destination on schedule. Being restricted to the inside lane could, sometimes, double the length of the journey time. Bearing in mind that he could be travelling to Aberdeen or Penzance or anywhere in between, the cost of freighting would inevitably rise, followed by a rise in the retail price of the goods he's transporting.

The HGV gets into the middle lane and can't accelerate enough to overtake? Could that be because the person he's trying to overtake has started to go a bit faster? I've seen that happen so many times.
