THIS is a daily occurrence on our expressways during peak hours. Many vehicles with a 70kmh speed limit travel in the middle lane to overtake those in the left lane.
Even though the overtaking vehicles are already travelling above their speed limit, they usually travel slower than the 90kmh limit on most expressways. Therefore, both the left and middle lanes get clogged with these slower vehicles, while faster ones share only the right lane.
I hope the traffic police can ensure that trade-vehicles stick to their 70kmh limit; this will ensure that these vehicles do not use the middle lane for overtaking and stick to the left lane - and their speed limit - as a result.
