... the outside lane on motorways with three or more lanes? What makes you think that regulation only applies to motorways? As it happened, it did only apply on motorways. It didn't (and AFAIK still doesn't) apply on (the limited number of) six-lane quasi-motorways such as the A1 at Hatfield (now part of A1(M) anyway), the A2 at Dartford, the A3 at Kingston, the A12 between M25 and Colchester or the A46 Stratford - Coventry.

...great. I used to work with somebody who deliberately made her commute route three times further than it needed to be, solely in order to avoid roundabouts or turning right. Because she "couldn't". When the office moved - from Hatfield to WGC, not very far at all - she actually resigned in a flood of tears because there wasn't a route she "could" drive. She'd never had a collision, either. That's a very sad story....
