I thought towing vehicles were already banned from lane 3 
 ......

Technically they're banned from the 'outside lane' which, in practice is normally/usually lane 3, but where there are more than 3 lanes eg going east on the M62 to Yarkshire, you're allowed in lane 3, but not lane 4. This is where you see dozens of HGV's filling lanes 1 2 & 3 playing the overtaking game to see how far they can spin out their over take over three lanes instead of the usual 2 leaving just the outside lane for the rest of use mere mortals in cars.

i'd like to see introduced what I saw in Italy & other countries. Trucks were not allowed to overtake each other during rush hour! They had to stay in lane 1

Since someone mentioned towing - when was the speed limit for trailers (and boat trailers, and caravans!) increased to 80mph? I got overtaken by someone towing a boat the other day..
