maybe a better resolution to the problem would be to have separate speed limits for each lane; 60, 70 and 80. Its a system used in the EU and it works from what i experienced when over there myself

at the moment, the "fast lane" is limited to 60, so to use it as the "fast lane" and overtake people, you would be replying on people in the middle and inside lanes to be doing slower than 60, so the lanes would have to be 40, 50, 60. and i mean 50 is slow enough on the motorway, never mind 40

All they need to do is legalise what currently happens on the road which is the 60, 70, 80 system i mentioned above
