Simon - that is exactly what the car drivers end up doing, which then causes long queues of traffic with both lanes running at the same slower speed. This actually means that the idea of the outer lane being an overtaking lane goes out of the window because in congestion, the most sensible traffic flow is achieved with all lanes being used in parallel.
