I once reported, to the traffic Police on the M6, two kids of about 10-12 years old riding a 50cc scooter/moped flat out along the hard shoulder southbound.

I DID IT !!!!!! ......................in 1981 along the M.56 Me and a friend had our tyres let down and the valves taken out ( remember them ) so the quickest route we thought was to walk along the M.56 to get home,sadly the copper in the early two door Range Rover ( remember them ) said get off at the next bridge,oh the good old days !
Hey - you don't know how glad I am to see you post this - was beginning to think I was the only one mad enough to own up to it...
though you still hold the "in the UK" title - at least someone is madder than me.
When I was 13 or 14 I called for a mate at his house. "He's out," his mum Beverley told me, "but he won't be long, the police have picked him up riding his bike on the M5."
Whilst I was cycling over the M6 earlier today I remembered that I have cycled the M6 just in Belarus. It had a good wide hard shoulder and 4 lanes each way at one point but 'twas not worth trying to hold your breath between each vehicle passing - there weren't enough of them for 1 lane let alone 4!
