Driving towards London this morning on the M3 near Winchester services and the road reduces from 3 lanes to 2. The inside lane was moving slower than I was so I stayed behind a red BMW M3 doing around 80mph in lane 2.
In the rear mirror I notice a squat red Ferrari approaching at speed behind me. No problem, I'm doing just above the NSL, the inside lane is busy with slower cars, he can wait.
Oh no, not him. He dived to the inside lane when the opportunity arose, gunned it and undertook about 3 cars before moving to the outside lane ahead of us all.
This in itself didn't bother me, but he then proceeded to do it again. Inside lane, accelerate, pass more cars outside him then move back to lane 2.
Apart from driving too close, and lane hogging, jumping from lane to lane like that is very poor driving IMO and one of my pet hates. OK for a race track, but not a motorway.
So if you are the owner of a red Ferrari with a black stripe down the bonnet and a Reg# that read something like BE4UTY, you have a nice car, but you're a cr@p driver.
Oh, and for all his lane hopping, I found myself one car behind him 10 miles up the road near Basingstoke.
