In an astonishing automotive incident, a Toyota Prius driver set a new world record for obstructing traffic on the M1 motorway, holding up vehicles for an unbelievable 28 minutes in the outside lane. This unintentional feat surpassed the previous 23.5-minute record held by a 2002 Honda Jazz.
- Speed: 48 mph
- Date: Overcast Tuesday morning
- Conditions: "Rage-inducingly" congested
The unaware driver maintained a steady pace in the outside lane, seemingly unfazed by the lengthy line of cars queued behind them.
A world records adjudicator remarked on the dedication and sheer obliviousness needed to achieve such a record, highlighting how rare this level of unawareness is on the motorway.
When asked for comments, the Prius driver appeared remarkably out of touch with the situation:
- Reaction: Vacant stare and bemusement
- Comments: "Huh? What traffic? It’s a bit quiet out today."
Expressing confusion over their sat nav’s congestion warnings, the driver displayed complete indifference to the record they had just set.
The Prius driver narrowly avoided setting another record for the longest time being cursed at on the motorway, as they were eventually coaxed into the middle lane by a frustrated SUV driver.
In an event that left many in disbelief, a Prius driver unexpectedly set a world record for traffic obstruction on the M1 motorway, showcasing an extraordinary level of obliviousness and indifference.
