Yes I would prefer to see a road widened if the traffic demand is there, but to agree with M607 too, you could have ten lanes in a motorway and some drivers will only drive their cars in lane 10. Not that I want them anywhere near me.
Fancy driving along the M1/M25 in the nearside lane (the old hard shoulder) at 70mph (102 feet per second) you see someone broken down in front of you. You will have travelled 315 feet before the car come to a standstill and that is in perfect driving conditions with a car in perfect condition.In distance terms that is the equivalent of approx. 25 car lengths.So effectively you should at 70mph be looking at (a minimum) of 25 car lengths in front of you at all times.
