How is it possible to travel 14 miles on Britain's biggest motorway the wrong way? Makes me wonder if the driver deliberately wanted to die. I'm amazed he got so far too.  ::)

Quite a feat actually. I feel sorry for the poor guy and his kids who he crashed into :(

There's people who do that, I saw a show on the Autobahn and the police told stories of how every now and then, a guy will decide to take someone with him and drive down the wrong side of the highway.

Happend here about a year or so ago. Mother with three kids in the car. Mom survived but the kids and I think two people in the other car didn't. Wasn't too long ago they sentenced her to life without parole.

GOOD!!!!!! What an unbelievably selfish thing to do - if your such a spanner that you have to kill yourself, then pi$$ off & do it quietly - Don't rip apart innocent families just because you can't hack it anymore.
