Cyclists And Pedestrians Were Caught On Motorways On Christmas Day

What’s the strangest or most dangerous thing you’ve ever done after a few drinks? Leave anything non-incriminating in the comments below, if you like, but we thought you guys might enjoy a brief tale of Christmas misbehaviour in the Midlands.

The Central Motorway Policing Group, which covers parts of some of the busiest motorways in the UK, like the M5, M6 and M42, tweeted on Christmas Day after being called out to deal with two errant cyclists, wearing Santa hats, who had somehow strayed onto the M5.

Not only that, but on the same day the same police units discovered three drunk ladies walking along the M5 between junctions one and two; one of the busiest sections of all.

Later, a lone man, again drunk, was, ahem, recovered from the M6 while trying to walk along it near the affectionately named Spaghetti Junction; junction six. He’d have looked a bit like a spaghetti meal if he’d been hit by a truck at 56mph…

Have you done anything dafter than that? If so, on second thoughts you might want to keep it to yourself…
