Pissed Hungarian goes the wrong way

Post by Gob »



This is the heart-stopping moment three brave lorry drivers formed a roadblock to stop a Hungarian haulier who had hurtled the wrong way down a busy motorway for ten miles after downing homemade plum brandy and beer.

Pal Korbely, 50, caused chaos on the M6 after travelling south on the northbound carriageway, narrowly missing dozens of vehicles.

In footage caught on CCTV, the heroes who brought Korbely to a halt saw his oncoming lorry and instinctively blocked him with each one getting into a different lane.

A judge has since commended the fearless hauliers - two of whom have been named as Christian Wilenski and Simon Cotton.

He must be an American living in Hungary.

It looks to me like he was the only one going the right way.

A pensioner has been banned from driving after he drove eight miles in the wrong direction along a busy motorway.

Ronald Jackson, 81, was caught on several CCTV cameras as he headed into the path of oncoming traffic.

Other road users had to swerve out of his way to avoid a head-on collision, including a lorry.

Throughout the seven-and-a-half mile journey he can be seen driving through tunnels, over bridges and alongside a river in the wrong lane.

Three lanes of horrified motorists are seen slamming on their brakes as Jackson approaches, yet he still fails to stop, instead weaving in between the traffic.

A driver from the operator of the Citylink Toll Road in Melbourne, Australia, even made an attempt to flag down the driver, but he just continued along the motorway.

Although there have been scores of colloquial expressions that are documented to mean, "intoxicated," we 'Mericans draw the line at "pissed."

"Pissed" is short for "pissed-off" which means, "angry."

Sorry for the tangent.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
