I know the vehicle is facing the right way, but its going the wrong way.

Anyone else come across this way of driving?

Not since midday yesterday - apparently we were impeding a 4X4 that needed to reverse so that it could park exactly where we were on Cycle Superhighway 7.

I've done it myself, occasionally, but only very very slowly and only if there was no other way to get the back of a lorry to the delivery point. The chap in your video appears to have no excuse and is going far too fast.

Doesn't appear to be insured either - assuming you've got the right registration number.

Plate isn't valid.

The MID database is not inclusive, it only lists cars with insurance. If a plate is not valid, it will show up as "no insurance", even if the car doesn't exist (so double check a plate is valid before you try and find a MID listing for it).

Have seen it once or twice. I've heard its a tactic to avoid cameras picking up that they've entered the wrong way.

As with RT, you can kind of forgive some delivery vehicles as access can be a problem.

If it was to avoid being seen on a camera entering the wrong way, its not a very good attempt. There's a CCTV camera mounted on a pole at the junction he came through. At the 12 second mark you should be able to make out a square base for what many take to be a street light.

Delivery vehicles I can understand, sometimes there's no other way, as has been said. However this was at around 1500-1530 on a Sunday afternoon, and there aren't many vehicles making deliveries at that time

The video isn't great quality - I can't tell if it is a VW or an Audi.
Anyhoo, when I first heard the video I thought it was XFW - surely not a coincidence that the search reveals that the vehicle with that registration is a blue VW?
