      It's hard enough getting people to be truck drivers without telling them they can only drive at night.
      THe problem isn't too many lorries, it's too many cars.

        So there is a way.

          Most truck drivers don't want to stay away for £25k. That may be the problem.

          No its too many vehicles on the motorways at peak time. Maybe we can set day tolls for cars?

          Driving at 10pm is normally easy.

            So people travelling to work get penalised? You can't do that if the public transport service isn't there to offer a viable alternative.

              The huge majority of which are cars. You can't specialise my answer and say my answer was wrong...

                Agreed. It could put a pressure on employers but despite far more flexibility on working hours you still typically have to arrive in the morning and leave early evening. WFH is a big help but we're already seeing employers push back on that.

                And a part of road busyness is also the school run - again not really avoidable how many kids are traveling, only how they travel.
