When the rolling road block of HGVs in the inside lanes concertina due to vehicles joining the carriage-way, it makes getting into the inside lane for the next junction a bit hairy at times, if the HGVs don't leave a gap to allow for vehicles to get into the inside lane. Blaming different groups is clouding the issue, which is, successive governments have seriously neglected and underfunded transport in this country, with the result obvious every time you get behind the wheel, from the appalling state of urban and suburban roads to the millions of hours wasted on motorways everyday, the gallons of fuel wasted by congestion, and the green house gases pumped into the atmosphere. When something as vital as transport is left to a "transport minister" who may or may not be capable, but in any case is subservient to the PM and Chancellor who in turn have the next general election as their over-riding priority, we end up in the deteriorating mess we are in. Throw in the Green Party, who don't believe in cars or wagons, nimbyism, local council amateurs who are totally untrained in the complexities of strategic planning, but are still able to block/delay civil engineering projects, then the future looks bleak for road users, which is more or less everyone, one way or another.
