Believe it or not subby, I had this exact situation happen to me in NJ. I was visiting from FL, and they have drastically different roads in NJ from FL. Anyhow I turned out of a townhouse complex onto a two lane road, and while it didn't take me two minutes, it *did* take the dueling cars coming right at me to notice. At first I thought "what an asshole!!!" until the second round of dueling cars came and then I realized, "holy fark, I'm on the wrong side of the road!!!" thankfully in my case I scooted into an enclave on the side and turned around. Scary as hell because I really could not tell.

In the middle of the day? Really?
I've done this once. Middle of the night coming back some ass-backwards way, I pulled up to a stoplight at a 4-lane divided highway. No idea it was 4-lanes there, so I turned left into oncoming lanes. Naturally I did this right in front of a cop who promptly pulled me over. Let me off with a warning.

Driving to work on the interstate years ago, I noticed some odd traffic ahead: cars suddenly swerving and changing lanes. I started slowing down a bit when the cars several lengths ahead of me suddenly shot to the right, revealing a car coming directly at me in my lane at full highway speed. I followed suit and swerved into the right lane, and the car just kept right on going. It was occupied by two elderly ladies, and the only detail of the license plate I was able to catch was that it started with a "Z", indicating a rental car. I assumed it was two non-US women who were essentially in the same boat as whoever was in the video.
Pre cell phone days, so I couldn't call. I often wondered if someone was able to, though.

Welcome to St Thomas - you can't make this shiat up!
We're part of America down here but we drive on the left side. To make it even more fun most of the roads are narrow 2 lanes with not much if any shoulder and drop off or ditch on at least 1 side.

ha! i know a place where this happens due to poor layout. area of Netcong NJ near one of my doctors. have had them change lanes on me while i'm trying to evade them.
the exit to a mental health center -really- needs a one-way sign. just down from their driveway is access to a really $$ yuppie community - and a nice German restaurant.

How much you want to bet this is an elderly person driving? For each state they should enact a law to make anyone over 65 take a driving test every two or three years to make sure that they are cognitive to be able to drive.

I would be willing to bet $1000, based on RTFA:
"two mates on their way to Glasgow, who passed a man -
who appeared to be young
- driving his Renault Clio up the wrong side of the highway."
Shall I give you the address to send me my cash?

Here's pics of the most serious crash.

I don't know what I was thinking, spelling your name wrong; usually I'm a stickler for proper spelling and grammar too but it was a combination between being one of the few words I have trouble with and being distracted by something completely irrelevant (

I know this one was young, but around here it's usually elderly people who do it. Fortunately their great experience, prudence and consistently high voter turnout mean that we will never have to test their ability to drive without killing people.

I have deduced two things about you:
1. You have an extremely verbose alias.
2. You do
very
well on Rorschach tests.

Totally did this in Ireland. Most of the time, I had no problem staying to the left. But one night, 2AM (not even drinking) I stopped for gas and then merrily pulled onto the highway in the wrong lane. Took me about half a mile to notice that the words on the road were painted the wrong way.
/Also was awakened by the sound of a woman screaming, but that was later that night
