    And I finally saw the epic dangerous move. The "I missed my exit, and will do a U-Turn to reach the previous exit" move.

    Only saw it in my rear view mirror. Couldn't believe it. Did a u-turn, entering the overtaking lane, and then swung back into the hard shoulder. It was exit 22, so the next exit was only 5 minutes down the road. I did call trafficwatch, but with no reg / him probably long gone there was little to be done.

    Madness!

    What's the problem? Surely traffic is light at this early hour. Besides they probably were sure to check both their side and rear view mirrors :rolleyes:

    someone needs to be caught doing this and publicly hung out to dry - and I mean a really big deal made of them being literally strung up live on telly, this may make some of these tools realise its just not fookin on !

    Happened yesterday afternoon. And there is no good time to break traffic law.

    I remember reading about people who took short cuts around roundabouts when they thought no one would be around. Very irresponsible.

    I bought a refurbished irony detector from some internet site but it detects everything except irony. Ironic. I think. Can't be sure.
