At 2.00am one night a long time ago (02?) I was driving a Vauxhall Vectra ARV on blues/flashing headlights to Milton Keynes via the M25. I was going as fast as I could, 130+, in lane 4 next to the central reservation. My crewmate was unsheathing me a Café Crème by the light of the glovebox as we approached junction 16. Ahead was a black XR3i that was being overtaken by another car and another car was overtaking both in lane 3. At that point XR3i comes from lane 1 to lane 4 doing about 50 mph. I tried to stop us hitting the XR3i but smacked it at about 65. At this point there was nobody else on the motorway. We both pulled onto the hard shoulder and I spoke to the driver. He apologised and said he'd heard the two tones ( they weren't on) and saw the flashing lights (they were on) but he knew he needed to stay on the M25 so thought he needed to be in lane 4. He also said he was from the Isle of Wight and didn't know how to use motorways. Bloody grockles. CSB etc.
