Man goes wrong way on highway for 11 miles!

A guy in France drove up a motorway in the wrong direction for 11 miles, crashing into five other vehicles and killing one person and injuring three others including two children, police said.

The 66-year-old man continued driving after his first two collisions Sunday in the hope of finding an exit off the A35 in eastern France.

No one was injured in the first collision with two vehicles, but one person was seriously hurt in a second accident with two other vehicles.

The retired motorist, driving with his wife, only came to a halt when he collided head-on with another car, killing an adult and seriously injuring two children aboard.

Police said alcohol tests on the driver proved negative and he could not explain why he had turned the wrong way onto the motorway. He was in shock but he and his wife were otherwise unhurt.

Lets think about this. This man and his wife drove in the wrong direction for 11 miles. Why at no time during that 11 mile stretch, did either of them look out in front of them or around them and realize- hmm… we are going in the wrong direction. Furthermore, why in the heck would you not just STOP. I mean STOP and not move your car. Maybe then you could turn around at least. Why fight it? Again, I guess you got to take into consideration that these people are also elderly. I think elderly people should be required to take a driving test twice a year. Just my opinion. Article here.
