BR, that was discussed a few years back, but the outcry from the road safety crowd put an instant stop to it - but having driven in the states a couple of months back, where overtaking on both sides is allowed, it seemed fine to me - at least people seemed to have more awareness of what was around them before changing lane. There would no doubt be a "transition" phase here, if it was brought in, while people got used to it - with a corresponding (& temporary) increase in accident rate - and that alone will likely mean it never happens. Shame though.
