In Germany, drivers who drive the wrong way along a motorway are called 'ghost drivers'. They result in few serious crashes, as the motorway police are usually all over them very fast, warnings are issued on the radio, etc., but here's one with a tragic outcome.

I've always found it interesting that the effective one-way operation on motorways makes people who have missed a junction try to get back to it by turning around. Even the act of turning around would seem to me to be extremely difficult, let alone driving against a stream of oncoming traffic. I certainly can't understand why people take the risk.
