An 81-year-old man was arrested after driving the wrong way on four different motorways in a single day.
Dashcam footage shows other drivers swerving into the next lane to avoid a head-on collision.
The pensioner, who has no criminal record, was arrested five days after his shocking driving streak.

The incidents began at around 12:45 pm on 14 August, when he made a U-turn at the toll on the M-12 motorway in Spain’s Madrid and entered the M-11.
He travelled 3.5 km (2.2 mi) in the wrong direction before causing an accident that damaged both vehicles.
He drove away and later, at around 6:25 pm, entered the A-5, driving towards Madrid in lanes designated for traffic heading to Badajoz, between kilometres 12.6 and 6.8.
One car was forced off the road by his oncoming vehicle, resulting in two minor injuries and material damage.
At around 7:34 pm, he was detected driving the wrong way again, this time near kilometre 16 of the A-6 motorway.
Despite heading towards Madrid in lanes reserved for traffic to La Coruña, no accidents occurred on this stretch.
The Madrid resident now faces four counts of reckless driving, as reported by Need To Know.
He was nicked last Tuesday (19 Aug).
Authorities have requested an assessment to declare him unfit to drive, which could lead to the suspension of his licence.
One social media user vented: “Honestly, at this point, you might as well suggest him as Fernando Alonso’s teammate next season.
“What are all these older people thinking, putting everyone else’s lives at risk? And this isn’t even an isolated case. The driving age limits really need to be rethought.”
