LETTER : Taxes well spent on roads

Sir: A solution to the problem of "Why it's a slow life even in the fast lane" (5 April) would be to make it an offence to take more than 10 seconds to overtake. Although this would be difficult to enforce, it would in time change driver behaviour. No longer would we witness one vehicle travelling at 65mph overtaking another at 63mph, causing an immense queue behind.
