Tour Scotland Travel Video Car Driving Wrong Way on M90 Motorway In Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of a car driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic on the M90 Motorway on visit near Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, Scotland. This bad driver caused a five car crash. The northbound lane of the motorway was closed for nearly two hours. Wrong-way driving colloquially also called ghost driving is the act of driving a motor vehicle against the direction of traffic. It may be due to driver inattention or impairment or a driver from a right hand traffic country being unaccustomed to driving in a left hand traffic country or and vice versa. On a divided highway, especially a motorway, it is a serious problem because of the high speeds usually involved, since the result is more likely a head on collision. Most drivers who enter a divided highway or ramp or slip road in the wrong direction correct themselves by turning around. Wrong way driving is extremely dangerous.
