Motorways
I travel regularly along the motorways between North Wales and Blackpool.
It is little wonder that many people stay in the middle lane, given the ruts caused by HGV's on the inside lane along long stretches of these routes.
They are really off putting and at the high speeds maybe a potential hazard.

That would be apalling!
Consider all those heavy goods vehicles not plying up and down the motorways, overtaking each other in the middle lane.
It'd be as bad as it is in Germany or France!

cost on its own wouldn't make that happen - at present there are no more freight paths available on the West Coast route; a £250m scheme to remodel and resignal the area around Stafford will only realize one more freight path.

Wheel ruts from HGVs are a signicant danger to cars. It can be difficult to steer in them, as cars have a narrower gap between the wheels.
If they are so bad on the motorways you use, I suggest you make an official complaint.
I don't know whether this should be to the Highways Agency or the local council though. I suspect the Highways Agency is the most likely one to be responsible.

No one can say if it is HGV's causing the damage but here's a thought if a lorry weighs 44 ton when the contractors lay the road do they use equipment used compress the surface enough, there is one answer make the motorways with concrete then all you will get is potholes. it's not the use it once again not enough investment as we have to support other countries first.
It's not the HGV's at fault - it's the evil Construction Industry deliberately laying limited life roads so they get fresh jobs in the future. And as they contribute considerable funds to the Tory Party you are unlikely to get any remedy very soon (not that the Labour party did any better in this respect so don't hold your breath when they get back in).
