Motorway police have had to deal with two women spotted walking down the central reservation of the M6. The women, twin sisters from Sweden, ran in front of oncoming traffic after wrestling with the police.

Quite incredible footage, they appeared to really want to end it all!

Its selfish of them to put trauma on others. What can one do to prevent them from killing themselves??
Therapy or lock them up??

That actually reminded me of an experience heading to Athlone. Was about 4 miles the Dublin side of Athlone about 10pm in the evening, was around Christmas so was dark. Came around a bend and was heading along a fairly long straight stretch. Anyways when the traffic came around the bend at the other end of the road, all of a sudden I see this guy staggering around in the middle of the road. Only for the cars coming the other direction he would have been a smear on the front of my car.:eek:

Further down the road I passed a squad car, on the way out to get the guy I'd say. Just couldn't believe someone was walking around in the middle of a busy road like that.

There used to be a craze in the UK in the early 90's, where kids would play "chicken", this involved hiding behind a parked lorry or something and running across the road at the last possible moment!.

If it wasn't seeing the shadow and stamping on the brakes, I would have hit one of the pricks! scared the shit out of me, was raging afterwards as they ran off laughing, as it was my bumper was shined by one of them as I brushed his leg.

If they had been hit and survived they could have ended up as vegetables. :eek:

They did survive, one was out of hospital after six weeks and the other did one day in gaol for her troubles.

The government are always warning us about sweeding, here's proof of the dangers.

Oi.
Watch it now.
This thread, like yore ma, is too small for the two of us punnishers.

Wow that's some crazy footage. As mentioned by another poster they are inconsiderate c*nts. What about the emotional and psycological effect of their actions on the drivers who hit them. If they really wanted to end it all then they could have chosen a means that didn't involve anyone else.

Who knows why they chose to do this, but it needs to be examined and appropriate treatment given to them. If the aren't suffering from some sort of mental illness and it was merely as a result of too much drink or drugs then they need to do some hard time.

Motorway cops is supposed to be on BBC1 now at 9pm, and it covers this story but its not started yet.

spurious · 25-09-2008 09:20PM

Surely they must have been under the influence of something?

Run_to_da_hills · 25-09-2008 09:30PM

Talk about the expression, "go play with traffic in the middle of the road" , these Shelas take it literally.

What amazes me about the whole episode is the clarity of the CCTV footage and how the authorities can pan tilt and zoom in on two different cams, god knows how much more of these motorways are covered.

:pac::pac::pac:

That is crazy..seriously mental stuff there

Sharpshooter · 25-09-2008 09:44PM

Cripes , there was no hesitation there at all.
l thought the one that ran in front of the truck was dead for sure.
Poor truck driver won't forget that in a hurry.

I believe that many of the major motorways in the UK have 100% cctv coverage, they miss nothing!

The chief of the UK authorities wants to have ANPR cameras installed every 400 yards on every motorway .

Doesn't look like the Programme is going to be shown.

skyhighflyer · 25-09-2008 10:04PM

Not that it was the cops' fault per se, but they seemed to be particularly useless in that video.
