Those cameras cause some odd behaviour, everyone slows down for the
camera's then increases speed after.
I drove along there tonight heading towards the city from the Frankston
end and as usual the left lane was moving best because it was near empty.

You need to run it through the sharpener a few more times Kev :)

Don't see that so much any more now that cruise control is so common. They
just set it at 90 so they don't keep running into other cars, then pick
whatever lane is free and stay there regardless of anyone else on the road.

You're lucky then, I usually find cars in all 3 lanes side by side at 90kph.
I'm *very* happy when the left lane is clear, because that's the one I'm
normally in, at 100kph, when possible. (not as often as I'd like considering
I have to pay for the bloody privilege!)

Got my last Citylink statement yesterday, I'm spending just under $100
per month on bloody tolls which IMO is very poor value for money.
Even more annoying is a Hilux and other Jap utes are classed as light
commercial and charged at a higher rate but Falcodore utes pay the car rate.
