I had something similar on the M11, though it was many years ago as the details below will confirm:
Morning rush hour and I was driving out of London up the (relatively new) M11 towards Harlow. Almost no traffic my way (the M11 was that new and I was going out of town) so my Dolomite was moving "briskly"!
Got to the section which is now occupied by the M25 intersection near Hobbs Cross and noticed traffic coming the other way (into town) was all hooting and flashing like mad, so I started to slow down and moved to the inside lane, wondering what was ahead. 
Then over the hill ahead of me appeared a car driving quite fast towards me in the outside lane, what to him was the left side of a 3-lane carriageway!
This was maybe 4 or 5 miles from the Harlow intersection, so it must have driven all that way. 
The message must have sunk from the noisy flashing cars on the southbound lane because it actually did a U-turn a little way in front of me and stopped on the hard should, pointing the right way.
