Be careful out there

Dropped a family member off at Larnaca airport this morning, driving back down the motorway, im in the outside lane, when I see a car speeding towards me on the wrong side of the motorway, luckily for me I had enough time yo swing to my left just avoiding him, I looked in my mirror and saw others doing the same. just pray to God he hasn't killed anyone, I can understand a red plate rental doing this as people sometimes from Europe get confused driving on the left, but it was a regular Cyprus plate, off now to change my underwear.

Did you not have time to note down his registration number?

Well you said you had time to swerve and avoid a collision, and enough time to look behind and see others doing the same.
I just wondered if you had time to note his number.
Pity you don't have a dashcam to nail that idiot!

Just seen this, the lady injured happened before I saw him, thank God no one was killed.

Many thanks for that link WHL.
Well yes indeed, she was lucky not to be killed. As is one anyone else (like your goodself) on the road at that time.
I am pleased they caught him. They most certainly should review his ability to drive; at very least he should be charged with careless driving I would have thought.

Had it happen to me in the UK once on a dual carriageway section near Holbeach!

One reason why I have just had a Dash Cam installed in my car. A God send at times like this.
