Thats what I thought, I remember they did a test somewere to see if it worked and it showed that if everyone was slowed down to 50Mph people actually got where they were going quicker!! Sounds silly but when people swap lanes at higher speeds other drivers tend to brake causing other drivers to hit the break making a chain reaction of delay. They found this didn't happen and delays eased.
I suppose things never work out as they plan with the great british public.
