Is that what hobbits have?

As for lane discipline, it's not called discipline for nothing. If everyone would timely return to the innermost lane, traffic would flow, but the fear not being "allowed in" later makes people hang in the outermost lane the moment someone starts to overtake a HGV about 1 mile down the road.

Personally, I think there is something to be said for the system which allows passing on either side (in use in Thailand, for instance). It does away with the problem of one idiot in the outer lane causing serious tailbacks, but it does demand a separate approach for HGVs as they could really make a mess that way (unintentionally, their speed is regulated so it's not like they have much of a choice).
