    Jesus H. Christ!

    I followed someone (in the car) on the wrong side of the road for about half a mile on a 50mph road at the weekend. It wasn't a dual carriageway, and as soon as a car came the other way they moved back over....but still..... :roll:

    To be fair, he looks to have got where he was going faster than the guy filming...

    Feck me it took me half the clip to arrive at the conclusion that it's English they're speaking.

    It wasn't English they were spearking it was Scottish English. I can translate if anyone is having trouble understanding :wink:

    Top use of hyperbole in that article: "MANIAC" (in caps), "terrifying", "horrified" (attributed to drivers not spoken to), "shocking", "miraculously", "hurtles", "disappears" (literally? Now that would be impressive), "tearing along", "desperately", "angrily", "SPEEDING UP" (in caps, obviously, as this is a capital offence), "stunned", "blast" (their horns) and "blasts up" (a slip road).

    Is no one ever mildly bemused these days?

    Don't forget "moron", used twice.

    One of the worst articles I've ever read.

    Maybe he is preparing himself for Scottish independence, when they will probably drive on the 'wrong' side of the road like their French cousins, just to be awkward!
