Or down to J12 and across on the A5, A38...

Definitely no reason for 30mph limits there at that time. The traffic
is moving at about 5mph.

As for an unrestricted outside lane - haven't you noticed that as the
motorway fills up, the outside lane becomes the slowest first? All
that traffic driving nose to tail, with any slight fluctuation leading
to a ripple effect that brings cars to a standstill a mile further
back?

No, the answer's a motorbike - I must have overtaken coming on for
1000 cars and HGVs in four miles of filtering this morning...
