Eighteen drivers travel the wrong way down motorway slip road
Police say they'll all be getting NIP's through the post
Police dealing with a collision on the M11 have issued a warning to drivers who failed to obey the highway code, putting themselves and others at risk.
Roads Policing officers were dealing with a three-vehicle collision on the M11 south bound shortly before 2pm on Saturday 10 June. The slip road at Theydon Bois was closed to allow emergency services to deal.
Unfortunately, 18 drivers will now receive a notice of intended prosecution for travelling the wrong way on a motorway slip road to avoid traffic.
Sergeant Thomas Baskeyfield, of the Chigwell Roads Policing Unit, said: “We understand the frustration motorists face when they are unable to progress their journey, especially in such warm weather, however, the actions of a few motorists jeopardised the safety of other road users and hampered the response of the emergency services trying to reach those who really needed our help.”
