A shocking incident on the motorway in London has left many in a state of panic and disbelief. A reckless driver was seen speeding down the fast lane on the wrong side of the road, causing chaos and endangering the lives of others. The driver of a white Audi caused quite a commotion on the M4 near Heston in Hounslow, as they made their way in the opposite direction of the traffic flow.
A video captured the terrifying moment when the Audi A3 appeared on the motorway at around 9:18pm on a Friday evening. The footage was taken by a passenger in a Tesla, who thankfully noticed the oncoming car in time to switch lanes and avoid a potential collision. In the video, the Tesla driver can be heard honking their horn in an attempt to alert the Audi driver, but it seems like their efforts were in vain as the Audi continued on its reckless journey.
According to reports, the white Audi was traveling eastbound on the M4 near Heston, which is just a few miles away from the bustling Heathrow Airport. As news of the incident spread on social media, many were quick to condemn the driver's actions. One person wrote, "Yep, Audi driver," while another added, "What an idiot." It's clear that the reckless behavior of the Audi driver was not taken lightly by the public.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a driver going the wrong way on a motorway has caused chaos and tragedy. In fact, it is a criminal offense that can result in prosecution under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Despite the seriousness of the situation, it seems like some drivers still choose to take this dangerous risk.
In the past, there have been tragic incidents where drivers going the wrong way on a motorway have caused fatal accidents. In March, a man lost his life in a head-on crash in West Yorkshire after driving the wrong way on the M62. And just a month before that, a 22-year-old driver crashed a stolen van into the car of 39-year-old Zoe Hawes and her husband on the wrong side of the M25. Sadly, both Zoe and the driver's passenger lost their lives in the collision.
The driver, Barancan Nurcin, was sentenced to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges relating to the incident. It is believed that this is the longest sentence ever given in the UK for death by dangerous driving. It's a tragic reminder of the consequences that can arise from reckless and irresponsible actions on the road.
The Metropolitan Police has been contacted for a comment on the recent incident on the M4, and it's clear that authorities take this matter very seriously. It's a reminder to all drivers to always prioritize safety and follow the rules of the road to avoid any unnecessary and devastating consequences.
