In a daring experiment on the infamous M25, the Car Throttle team embarked on a slow race to determine the ultimate lane for navigating traffic. With an eclectic mix of cars including an MX5, a daer jogger, a Range Rover, and a voxal corser, they braved the congested motorway for two tests in varying traffic conditions. Setting ground rules for lane-changing antics, they predicted the outcomes with the confidence of seasoned racers.

Amidst the chaos of brake lights and merging lanes, the team maneuvered through medium traffic with the MX5 emerging victorious in the first test. As the tension mounted in the heavy traffic scenario, stress levels soared as each driver vied for supremacy. Despite the challenges, the MX5 once again proved its mettle, clinching the top spot and reaffirming the advantage of strategic lane changes in traffic.

Throughout the grueling experiment, the team shared intriguing tidbits about the M25, from its lengthy construction period to the number of counties it traverses. As the results unfolded, it became evident that while changing lanes may offer speed, it comes at the cost of heightened stress levels. Conversely, sticking to one lane provides a more serene driving experience, albeit at a slower pace. The team's findings shed light on the age-old dilemma of lane selection in traffic, offering valuable insights for motorists navigating busy roadways.
