Sir: Because we are English, our motorways naturally divide along class lines. The inside lane is for poorly motivated, non-aspirational inferiors who are not going anywhere and do not care. The second is for legalistic bourgeois plods who delight in imposing their rule of mediocrity on others. The fast lane is for a self-selected clutch of upper class outlaws for whom getting ahead is survival. If you want to change road behaviour, change the school system.
Yours sincerely,
