This happened a lot when we were over this last time - usually though when people where drifting across lanes, or driving fast, then slow, then fast, etc they were on mobile phones or texting...
Another habit that we found startling was the speed with which they propel themselves onto the motorway from slipways - can be quite alarming to have these mini rockets appear next to you from behind a bush (slipways largely seemed to be planted up).
