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.

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.

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

Yes ... and you will be sad too if you ever lose a loved one at the hands of someone who thinks they can ignore the rules of the road.

No doubt the law will deal with them, lessons learned. Shame to see folk lose their jobs though but I suppose points make sackings in some cases.

How about we discuss someone who needed a serious mega kick in arse...........Maggie Thatcher for example.

Glad you said it Jim, I'd have just been accused of being a fan boy or some thing ... Can't see the problem, looks like motorists exercising some sensible flexibility with the rules of the road.

Oh I see a problem all right, damn silly thing to do. But the smart money is someone did something a damn sight worse up the road to cause an accident that made the jam in the first place, and we aren't pillorying them.
