You only ever see a single shoe on the side of the road, never a pair. Well I saw a single flipper.

Also, an unopened can of Spam sitting on the central reservation. It's surprising how much junk you spot when you're sitting in a traffic jam.

A pig, of the bacon variety, happily walking across the carriageway. It was the A1 if we are being picky.

I once saw 3 pigs on the hard shoulder of the M66. I rung the local police as they could cause an accident. "Can you describe them please sir....?!" Errrrr.... A bit piggy?

Foreign HGV driving flat out the wrong way down the M6 toll road on the hard shoulder....(I was in lane one).

Flashed the driver who waved cheerily back at me........needless to say I phoned the Police. Somehow he had come out of the services/junction the wrong way.

Took a few seconds to realise what I was seeing.

Artic on its side having gone through the central reservation of the M25....it was blocking all three lanes on the other carriageway. Lots of people died on that.

Business Jet on the M27 which had overshot Southampton Airport and went down the embankment onto the motorway....hit two cars.

I saw a car on my side of the M27 roll, flip over the central reservation, and land on its wheels in the outside lane of the other carrieageway!

And against the rules - after the snow 2 years ago. I saw an artic lorry perfectly upright, stuck in the snow drift/bank. We all did a double take as we drove past and gawped at what looked like a giant stake in the ground!

M1 southbound, after a weary day in Newcastle returning to the Midlands. A Ford Fiesta, driven by the most terrified OAP I have ever seen... mainly because he was stationary in the right hand lane and facing the traffic!!! No damage at all (and no other car in range), no services anywhere to have come out the wrong way, not a clue why he was sat there.

I half suspect he's still there...

Going up to scotland in an 7 seater defender to do our D of E gold expedition. We slowly catch up with a bus and proceed to be mooned by 5 or 6 women on the back row of a big bus. All hawt, too. Our scout leader thought it best to overtake which upset us all greatly

Following a Morgan 3-wheeler replica on the M1 after visiting a car show... it was roaring along, the driver had the full sheepskin flying jacket, with matching Biggles helmet and goggles, and every time he wanted to change lanes he was giving hand signals...

Oh - he was also doing about 80+ mph at the time!

I was quite impressed...
