All Lane Running

The government are trying to introduce "all lane running" on more motorways. In other words the plan is to use the hard shoulder as an extra lane to ease congestion without spending the money to create wider roads. Having driven on this type of road, whilst towing a caravan, and without towing, the thought of breaking down or engine failure is quite frightening. In the event of an emergency there is no way to pull out of the flow of traffic. Some parts I have driven on actually have fences within a metre of an active traffic lane.

This can only result in more accidents happening in an effort to save money.
