This is the shocking moment a car is caught on camera driving the wrong way down an M62 slip road.

Dashcam footage captures the vehicle heading in the opposite direction down the one-way road at the motorway’s Saddleworth junction.

At first everything appears calm on the roads as the driver recording the footage makes his way off the quiet stretch of M62.

But then as the film continues to roll a silver vehicle appears on the horizon, heading towards the motorway in the wrong direction.

The driver beeps and tries to warn the other vehicle it is heading the wrong way, and then swears in shock at what he has just witnessed.

The clip was recorded in September, but was shared with the wider public by Dash Cam Network for the first time a few days ago.

And after posting the startling clip, a number of people got in touch to air their views on what happened.

One, Jill Marshall, said: “I’ve seen this at least three times people going up the slip road or when you are at the bottom of the ONE WAY slip road they go in the left lane to turn right and cut you up.”

While another, Paul Kearslake urged the driver who recorded the incident to ‘send a clip to the police force covering that area’.
