Ah the British .... turns out we do have a lot in common with the Germans after all.

For all those 'appalled of Appleby', 'disgusted of Derby' and 'pi$$ed off of Putney' out there, one simple piece of advice from your resident Gaulish pot-stirrer;

never, ever, drive anywhere in France if this kind of thing gets your goat

You're all forgetting that they're all Very Important People to whom the normal rules, like observing 50 mph road works speed limits, using the hard shoulder otherwise than in an emergency, using a hand-held mobile, being sensible, etc, don't apply, 'cos they're "special". Unfortunately, these days, thanks to austerity, they're pretty much convinced they're untouchable now too.

In the grand scheme of idiot things done on the road I don't think it comes up the top of my list (except the first few that did it). By the stage of that video everyone coming onto the slip road could see vehicles coming out of it and must have know something damn peculiar was going on and adjusted driving accordingly.

jimC you will never make it as a magistrate. 

Driving the wrong way up a motorway is stupid, doing so in a sign written van is utter stupidity. 

Fines and points need dishing out by the police. 

As for the actions of any professional drivers that is up to them I suppose.

If the police were redirecting then there would have been a police officer waving you to turn up there with cones etc... They're all idiots. Fine them and put points on their licences!!
Needs to sail more...

Hazards exempt you from all sorts of rules of the road don't they? For example parking on double yellows is always ok if hazards are turned on, surely?
