Trucks banned from Right hand lanes

Victoria bans trucks from right-hand freeway lanes

About time. Now to police the people who sit below posted limits in other lanes.

This works great in the UK, no reason it cant be great here.

Thank god. I'm sick of coming to a wall of trucks with no place to get through. Does it include busses aswell? coz they're the worst.

I'm sure soon enough those buses will have their own lane. A busy 3 lane major road near me has just been converted to two lanes because they changed one to a bus lane. As Jeremy Clarkson said "Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?"

Yeah about time. Now only if police, policed the keep left unless overtaking rule which kept the people doing 90 in the right hand lane...elsewhere.

We need this in QLD.
That's a bloody good idea

I don't generally have problems with semi's, most of them are going faster than everyone else on main roads anyway so they overtake everyone. Very dangerous though obviously.

Hopefully this gets adopted here too. Last week going to work I was stuck (as were others) behind two trucks for about 10ks who were travelling side by side. Instead of the one in the right hand lane dropping in behind the one in the left lane, he tried to get ahead but both kept getting caught at the lights. Then we all had to endure that slow take off as these two B doubles got up to speed again till the next lights.

I was doing a cruise not long ago, side by side were 2 b doubles on the highway @ 100 and they almost touched. 3 lanes and they stick to the right sides.

It's been a habit of late people sitting in the far right lane all the way down highways. Worst is they all sit below the speed limit, and their speeds fluctuate up and down as they pass under suspicious overhead contraptions that might house speed cameras. When coasting on cruise it's the most annoying thing.

if only this was the case, truck drivers over here are just as bad as australia, and most highways are 4 lanes around the london area, lucky they dont seem to have B doubles over here
