Banning Trucks Overtaking on Two Lane Roads

This is a really good idea.

On the M11 and A14, which I use a lot, there is often large amounts of open road caused by two trucks travelling alongside each other. There have also been a large number of fatal accidents involving trucks, especially at the busy A14/M11 junction which has led the police to open a full discussion, as to ideas to improve safety.

Trucks often force their way out too and on several occasions I have had to break very sharply. I’ve even seen motorists so frustrated with trucks undertake on the hard shoulder of the M11.

Let’s get this sensible ban in on Monday.
