When the Hawk is stuck in traffic. one thing that really gets his goat is lane hoppers.
Now research carried out by Donald Redelmeier of the University of Toronto and Robert Tisbshirarti of Stanford University In California shows that the impatient pushers-in are sadly deluded. The pair
placed 120 students in a simulation using real traffic videos. Results showed that the majority wanted to change Into a slower lane, because they wrongly believed it was flowing more quickly. Fortunately the ageing Robin is too sedate for such shenanigans, but I am smug, nonetheless.
