The problem is that the centre lane on the motorway is "blocked" by
lorries and modern coaches limited to 62mph


That's strange, because lorries are restricted to 56 mph (90 km/h).


Tell that to lorry drivers.




Why don't *you* tell them that their limiters are set at 62 mph?

First they will tell you you're a complete ****ing idiot, then they
will laugh in your face. That's because their limiters have been set
to 56 mph since legislation came into force on 1 January 1994.

UK lorries have **NEVER** had their speed limiters set to 62 mph. You
simply don't have the faintest idea, do you.
