Satnav Blamed For Cycle Motorway Shortcut
Article by: rob brady Date: 25 Feb 2014
A cyclist has been fined £50 and given a talking to by police after he cycled down a slip road and onto the M25 motorway in Surrey.
He pedalled down the motorway for several miles, crossing slip roads between junctions 12 and 13.
According to police, the cyclist blamed his unusual route on a satnav app on his phone saying that he was looking for a shorter route home from work.
It seems the man was unaware of the danger he was in; the Surrey Roads Police tweeted: "Nice chap but unaware of the rules of the road, believed it ok to ride/walk on hard shoulder, struggled to see why not."

I really do wonder if some people have the common sense they were born with?

Cyclists are not allowed on motorways (freeways) in the UK.
