Petition for TV campaign to educate road users about motorway lane discipline

My friend posted this on Facebook: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/motorway-disp/

We ask the government to use some of its television advertising budget to educate road users about lane discipline, especially on motorways.

If the majority of road users were properly educated about the importance of returning to the left after performing an overtake manoeuvre, many traffic problems on our roads and motorways would be alleviated.

All to often do people believe in the "slow lane", "middle lane" and "fast lane" fallacy, and it slows things down - a detriment to every other road user, not just those who understand lane discipline.

This is particularly important with regard to motorways, where motorway driving is not compulsory education for new drivers.

Don't just sign it! Post it to Facebook, Twitter, forums, whatever

When, after all, was the last time this government actually submitted to the will of the people it supposedly served?

(Agree with you thought, but hey - it is worth a shot)

It's certainly a worthy cause, but have ANY of these on-line petitions ever actually resulted in laws being changed or repealed?

We're not talking about laws here, but with regards to your question I don't know....

Maybe this will just raise awareness, government action or not.

By the way - don't just sign, share (especially if you participate on car forums!)
