Sorry ...Had To Laugh At This ...

Not at the accidents though, but at the sheer stupidity.

Taken from AOL news :

A driver who went the wrong way along the M4 for nearly eight miles has been given a two-year suspended jail sentence.
Ali Abdo, 68, originally from Yemen, also received a five-year driving ban at Swindon Crown Court.
The court heard he caused several accidents while driving at 80mph near Swindon in February.
Police managed to flag him down as he drove to Cardiff after picking his wife up from Heathrow Airport.
have your say

Abdo, who pleaded guilty, was described as a nervous driver who had no experience of motorway driving.
The prosecution said he was given the right directions by a cab driver but as he travelled on the M4 towards his home in Cardiff, he became disorientated and decided he was driving in the wrong direction.
He then stopped on the hard shoulder, performed a 'dramatic' U-turn and drove back towards junction 15.
Abdo slowed to 30mph when police started driving alongside him on the opposite carriageway.
They then went on ahead, pulled over, jumped over the barrier on the central reservation and stood on the road signalling him to stop.
He finally pulled over near to Membury Services. But police said he still did not understand what he had done.
His wife Fatma, 38, had to be helped out of the car and taken to Great Western Hospital to be treated for severe shock.
