Stay on the Left Lane!

It's bad enough that truckers/lorry drivers often drive way over their speed limit. By this, I especially mean those with both their signal lights on top blinking. But to stay on the RIGHT LANE too when driving really slowly on what's supposed to be the fast lane for other drivers? Please!

Moreover, a lot of them don't even follow the health and safety regulations. I have to admit that I don't really know what they are but I think it's just plain common sense to have their load securely covered up. Is it not dangerous enough that the trucks are loaded with pebbles, bricks, furniture, electronic items, etc? But to not secure or cover them up properly to prevent the load from falling off the back of their trucks so as to avoid accidents and/or harm to others?

I'm saying this from personal experience as I've seen bricks falling off the trucks onto the road, sand flying off into the air, pebbles spurting off when the truckers are driving fast, etc. Perhaps the only time I've seen the trucks have their load covered up is when it rains, heavily. Otherwise, they often pose as a threat to other drivers.
