Really? So how come trucks were banned from using the outside lane on
motorways with three or more lanes?

Not my area of expertise nor of interest, sorry. I'm sure you can look
the regs up if you're interested to know what the precise reason was ...

You don't need an area of expertise, jsut a grasp of logic. You're
saying that the motorway regs didn't permit the exclusion of traffic (I
suspect you mean "classes of vehicles") from particualar lanes. However
it's clear that vehicles were excluded from particular lanes.

Hence your statement was incorrect.
