What a load of Idiots!
Well done that man lets hope the Police do take some action on it.
Worthy of a show in Police Camera Action (but not too many repeats!)

Hi All

Tonight I came back from Doncaster and was cruising at about 90 ..oops I meant 70 of course...

A foreign driver (French Plates) fell asleep in the middle lane and drifted over to lane 3 (my lane)...I saw his head nodding off just too late... I swerved to avoid him but he still hit my nearside mirror and twisted it a quarter of a turn in and dislodged the glass.....it was hanging down on the wiring, so I pulled over and fixed it on the hard shoulder..he didnt stop of course

To be honest I probably saved his life.... if he hadnt hit me he would have drifted straight in to central armco I think....

I then drove another 220 miles waching EVERY car in the middle lane very carefully lol

All the best Brett

Gosh that sounded a close call, glad you are ok.
You've got to be very wary of these LHD Foreign ones. After having a few scares myself I usually hang back a bit, then boot it to get past them asap!
(Easier to do in the Turbo than the Disco or Polo though!)
