The ‘Lucky Dip Gang’ causing carnage for clicks: After five thugs were killed speeding in the wrong direction on a motorway, GUY ADAMS investigates a sick new trend… and why police aren’t even allowed to pursue them

The piece explores what is described as a disturbing new trend, apparently connected to filming or sharing such incidents for online attention, and raises questions about why police are unable to pursue vehicles being driven this way.
