He says he only took one wrong turn to end up on the motorway. I find that hard to believe.
Not reallyThe first photo shows him coming up a hill? The bottom of that hill is an entry slip from a roundabout on the A259. On that roundabout, the next exit round is for a large Tescos and M&S site.
Perfectly feasible that he could mistake the turning he's ended up on the A27.

The A259 is further south. You're thinking of the A270.Dunk76 said:

He was still on the 'kin road when he shouldn't have been though and must have negotiated the Holmbush roundabout at 8mph too. Pensioners in those things are a bloody menace. I'm all in favour of mobility but there are limits.Perfectly feasible that he could mistake the turning he's ended up on the A27.

His trip had begun sedately enough, when he popped out to buy a newspaper yesterday lunchtime. One wrong turn later and he was suddenly travelling westbound along the A27 towards the Shoreham flyover with cars and lorries racing past him at 70mph.
Popped out to buy a paper... From Mill Hill and ended up on the A27. So, he travelled a couple of miles, went right past a suitable shop on the way, negotiated a major roundabout and only made one wrong turn to end up on a major dual-carriageway.
