Restrict lorries to the left lane on dual carriageways and motorways

What the petition asks
Ban lorries and other slow moving vehicles restricted to 60 miles an hour from the middle and right hand lanes on motorways, and the right hand lane of a dual carriageway. They must be compelled to remain in the left lane regardless of traffic.
I believe that doing 60mph in the middle lane is dangerous because blocking the left-hand and middle lanes during slow and prolonged overtakes can be hazardous.
