Watch out for wrong way drivers...
...they happen to appear more often than you think.
Good thing he actually caught himself (though it took him a long time to figure out.)

Re: Watch out for wrong way drivers...
Hey, that's that same garbage company as we have here, and they drive the same way too.
Deadly truck moron in this one. The driver taking the video also called police to say that this moron needs to be taken off the road or he's going to kill someone, which he soon did. While he survived, he killed 13 people on a church bus and even admitted he was texting to the guy taking this video after he stopped for the accident. I don't know why Americans are so stupid as to think that they can text and drive at the same time. I see it constantly and try to steer well clear of them. I've even seen women doing up their hair, while driving.
But this one is interesting. A ghost car. I dare anyone to see where this car came from. Hint: He ran the light and came around that white truck from the opposite direction. You can barely, just barely, see the tail end of the car as that driver in front of the guy taking the video makes his left turn, then hit's his brakes.

Re: Watch out for wrong way drivers...
In my life, I've seen maybe 4 wrong way drivers. Two of them were actually on the freeway going highway speeds!

Re: Watch out for wrong way drivers...
my experience is roughly parallel. Scary as hell anytime, freaky to see at night. One I witnessed was likely weather related, it was snowing, but the other two that jump to mind were likely impaired.

I've driven the wrong way on a one way street before. Let me tell you, it was just as shocking for me as it was for the people going the correct direction.

Re: Watch out for wrong way drivers...
I'll have to admit, I did that as a newbie teenage driver. I turned left down the wrong street in a city with a 2-way grid. I damn near had a coronary as I saw traffic heading towards me. I quickly turned into a driveway and counted my blessings that I didn't cause an accident and some cop never saw me.

I live a block away from a one way street, I don't even bother keeping count anymore it happens so often. Always look both ways when crossing a one way street.

Re: Watch out for wrong way drivers...
Yeah I know about those. We sort of expect that from people living in ontario, and central/northern alberta.
