I'm not advocating filtering at 90mph but my extensive experience of motorway commuting tells me cars are a lot more likely to change lanes suddenly in slow moving traffic than at NSL. What you really have to watch for is any gaps that a car might fit into, and any differential of speed between the lanes.
