Fair play when it isn't busy and you get the idiot-not-paying-attention brigade tootling along in the outside lane but when it's particularly busy then things have to be looked at in a different way, eg: HGV drivers will move into lane 2 well in advance of a junction, for perfectly good reasons. This causes problems because impatient people in the slowing line of traffic end up flying out into the outside lane often without indicating causing the usual panic-breaking domino effect back down the line.
If some sections of motorway were managed better then this wouldn't be an issue, ie: more use of reduced limit matrix signs well in advance of busy junctions and more use of adaptive traffic management such as the system in use on the M42.
