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.

Observe how much I care about your unsupported opinion on my accuracy:









There, did you spot it ?

Looks like I hit a nerve with my flippancy. My sincere apologies for any
offence caused. I'm sure we all look forwards to your well researched
and factually based explanation of the motorway regulations.

Posting complete crap, as you did, and being corrected on it, as you
were, is not "hitting a nerve".

My sincere apologies for any offence caused.

You didn't cause any offence, I'm laughing at you.

You're the one claiming to know the motorway "regulations" with your
fallacious claim that classes of vehicles could not be banned from
particular lanes. Despite it being obvious to the world and his dog that
HGVs had been banned from the outside lane for four decades before the
introduction of motorway bus lanes.

You're also the one too dumb to know how proof works. It's your claim,
you support it. Don't expect others to do your homework for you.
