A three lane motorway should be left lane for vehicles restricted to 60, and they shouldn't be allowed to overtake at 0.01 mph, middle lane for everyone else, and right lane to overtake.

In that system charge people for hogging the overtaking lane.

And all of that above aside have you seen the state of the left lane on most roads, next time its raining have a look at it, the surface of the road is so worn that its basically a puddle waiting for somebody to aquaplane off the road into a fireball.

Are you a middle lane hogger by chance

That's ok if all vehicles can do those speeds, but what if a truck restricted to 60 comes up behind a steam engine and can't overtake?
