That's a re-hash of a very old April Fool. IIRC an earlier version said it was the Irish who were going to change, and that there would be a two-week transition period for adjustment, in which cars would drive on the right but heavy goods vehicles would still drive on the left, only switching to driving on the right at the end of the two week period.

Apparently that was a real idea, try this instead:

That reminds me of a set of road works that actually were on the M6..

they went down to two lanes and then to one lane and hard shoulder.. the signs banned HGVs from the hard shoulder resulting in them continuing on in lane one and all the cars trying to get in from lane 2.

That wasn't an april fools joke they really were that stupid,

A bit late, Labour have already tried that scare story.

?I would feel really genuinely sad if Scotland votes for independence, not just for our own self-interest and in the extra difficulty we would face getting a Labour government in England but I also don?t want to drive up the M6 and get my passport out or have to drive on the right when I want to drive on the left.?

but the logic was that the hard shoulder was not built to take the running load of HGVs. It just wasn't thought out properly.

[dennis]

The logic was that they were going to kill someone. These days the hard shoulder is strong enough to take HGVs.

These days the hard shoulder is all too often a "managed motorway" lane.
