No, all motorways are the same, lane one is for traffic, the other lanes are for over taking slow moving traffic.
The variable speed limit has been brought in because with heavy traffic, slowing the flow actually increases the average speed limit.
I remember when it first was introduced, used to practically fly plast heathrow, then everything would jam up just past the variable area!
