I used to commute around the M25, and gradually noticed this phenomenum. The leftmost lane tends to flow better at busy times. It changed my driving style, as now as soon as I see congestion up ahead, I get into the leftmost lane (or rightmost on the continent).
Not worth the stress.....
Saying that my mrs is the opposite. Always late for work. Works about 20-25 mins drive from home. Leaves 10 minutes to start time and then floors it - no matter how many times I tell her you aint gonna catch up that much time.

I think the interesting thing about that clip is that both of them leg it (the scrotes in the corsa and the Audi). When I saw the scene there were Fire, Ambulance and police in attendance, presumably for the unlucky beggars who ended up with the corsa on their bonnet.
