Re: The nightmare has arrived, or has it?

I know it's not the news organisation making the comments in the article but some of those they relayed do make me wonder, however they've used a click-bait headline
driver overtakes FOUR cars in a row by driving the wrong way down the road

Re: Search for understanding

Based on 00:25-27 I'd say there's a fair chance that the first rider was offside at the double white line, had to make a very hasty return to the nearside, overdid it, clipped the verge, leading to serious instability.

A fairly recent M25 junction improvement resulted in a traffic-light controlled crossing on the exit from a roundabout - https://goo.gl/maps/HVJygNUdFUKq2reh9 - I think the start of NSL was moved to beyond the crossing.
