FINTASTIC SIGHT - Photographer captures incredible shoal of thousands of mobula ray fish cruising through the sea off Mexico
Image by: Nadia Aly
These jaw-dropping images show a sea filled with thousands of mobula ray fish appearing like large winged birds.
Ocean photographer Nadia Aly spent four hours swimming above the huge shoal in Baja California, Mexico.
Mobula rays, which are closely related to sharks and come from the same family as some manta rays, are normally shy and difficult to film.
Nadia, 35, said: “It is very rare to get an encounter like this, with this many rays, in near perfect visibility.
“I estimate that there were over 10,000 rays
“They were also not as skittish as they normally are.”

The animals, known to local fisherman as 'flying tortillas', gather in their thousands before launching themselves out of the ocean.
They are closely related to sharks but have long, flat bodies and wing-like pectoral fins.
They use their fins like wings to reach heights of over two metres before belly-flopping back down into the sea to join the school.

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL - Video captures motorist dozing at the wheel of a 'self-driving' Tesla moving on a busy California highway
Image by: Video Contributor24
This shocking video shows a motorist who appears to be FAST ASLEEP at the wheel of a 'self-driving' Tesla while moving on a busy interstate in California.
The footage was shot from a passing car travelling at around 35mph on Interstate 5 near San Diego on Saturday afternoon [Sept 21, 2019].
Tesla’s autopilot function is capable of keeping a car in lane and changing lanes but users are advised to monitor the system and keep their hands on the wheel at all times.
A passing motorist, who was travelling with his wife and children, said: “He was totally out - none of us could believe it.
“My wife was screaming 'call 911', she was really worried. We called 911 a bit further down the road and they said they’d come and investigate.
“This is the issue with self-driving technology, it allows people to relax so much on the freeway that they fall asleep.
“We were going about 35 or 40 miles per hour when we saw him. The traffic had just started slowing down, there were cars pulling around him and changing lanes. But his car stayed in the same lane while we were next to him.
“I have never seen someone asleep at the wheel like that before, this is a real safety issue that we need to consider for the future. It’s a sign of our times.
“He was driving a Tesla, one of those new electric, full self-driving ones, I think it was a Model 3.”
The Tesla company, fronted by CEO Elon Musk, has come under fire for purportedly overselling the capabilities of its self-driving vehicles.
Robert Sumwalt, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) told NBC News earlier this month: “Drivers are believing that the cars are autonomous, there are no fully autonomous vehicles that are on the market today.”
A Forbes article published last month [August 25, 2019] suggested that Tesla is a long way from creating a fully autonomous car, noting that the current models only “consist of semi-autonomous capabilities.”
There was a fatal Tesla crash in 2018 in California and another last month in Florida, which are still under investigation by the NTSB.
Media reps at Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.

This adorable video shows the moment a mum found her five-year-old daughter stuffing her face with an entire birthday cake she'd stolen from the living room.
Five-year-old Bethany Pitcaithly Nelson pinched her mum Sharon's 50th birthday cake, after it was left on a table following the party.
Sharon discovered her daughter sat in the hallway in her nappy, shoving the massive cake into her mouth.
Home carer Sharon said she found it so funny, she couldn't resist taking a video of cheeky Bethany, in their home in Auchtermuchty in Fife, Scotland.

Sharon said: "The previous night, my children and all my family held a surprise 50th birthday party for me, and when I got home I left it on the living room table.
"It had been a fun but boozy night. I was a little tipsy.
"Bethany went into the living room the next evening, reached up, pulled the box off, then went into the hallway to hide and eat it.
"It was almost a full birthday cake. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her.
"Once I stopped filming, I sat down and had a bit of cake with her as well!"
Bethany tucked into the cake at around 9pm on June 16.
Sharon said mischievous Bethany gets into all sorts of bother when her mum's back is turned, and has even broken four TVs in six months.

Cat stuck on a bridge for SIX days has shocked her owner by wandering home - after a £5k rescue mission by firefighters was called off
Image by: TM Devonlive
A cat at the centre of a £5K mission to save her from a bridge simply wandered home - hours after rescuers had left.
Hatty the five-year-old Maine Coon-Serengeti cross had been perched on a ledge of the 'Brunel bridge' in Plymouth, Devon - for six DAYS.
Thousands of people followed her plight online and as crowds gathered to help some even tried to send up food - with catapults.
Fire crews and the RSPCA were dispatched and Network Rail were making arrangements to close the rail line over the bridge.
Firefighters arrived on Wednesday lunchtime and prepared the ground before sending up a massive ladder.
One rescuer scaled to the top armed with a large bag and tried to tempt the feline out - with 'Dreamies' cat treats.
But they failed to coax Hatty and the cat was last seen peering out from behind a crevice under the famous bridge.

Fire crews eventually called off the rescue - which costs the taxpayer about £500 an hour - on Wednesday at 5pm and vowed to return the next day.
But at 11.30pm after everyone had left Hatty simply clambered down and suddenly appeared at home - with evidence she'd eaten a SEAGULL to stave off the hunger.
Owner Kirsty Howden, 39, of Saltash, Cornwall, said she was "shocked and elated" that her beloved pet, who initially went missing from her home on May 11, had returned.
The mother-of-three said she had been about to leave the house to meet Network Rail and RSPCA staff at 11.30pm on Wednesday to attempt a second rescue attempt.
It is thought the total cost the the rescue involving staff from fire crews, the RSPCA and Network rail was around £5,000.
She said: "I was sat responding to comments, heard a meow outside, had a look through the window and there she was.
"She is a bit skinny and smelly, very vocal and has now headed upstairs and put herself to bed."
She said that Hatty appeared to seem very pleased to see her two dogs, and there was "kisses all round".
Just hours earlier a major operation to rescue Hatty was called off for the night.
She is believed to have been stuck on the Royal Albert Bridge, known locally as the 'Brunel Bridge' since last Thursday and has been missing from her home for two weeks.
Firefighters spent most of the day trying to coax her down and there were countless visits from RSPCA inspectors.
There were also arrangements in place by Network Rail for the train lines to be closed.
It is understood that at a cost of around £500 an hour the total bill for the rescue efforts was around £5,000.
But it seems that the five-year-old feline didn't need rescuing at all and Kirsty says she walked in like nothing had happened.
The cat first hit the headlines on Tuesday evening when a picture emerged of her being on the Royal Albert Bridge, also known as the 'Brunel bridge' which connects Plymouth and Saltash.
These had been taken by Dawn Lapthorn, admin of the popular Facebook page Plymouth UK Pets Lost and Found.

Dawn had been contacted by Kirsty Howden, who had seen photos of her missing kitty on the page.
Both of the women attended the bridge in a bid to look for Hatty, but at around 9pm on Tuesday contacted the fire service for help.
On Wednesday morning, fire crews, Network Rail and RSPCA inspectors worked together to try and attempt to get Hatty off of the bridge.
Firefighters from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service spent most of Wednesday trying to coax Hatty out of a nook in one of the bridge pillars.
Dreamies and fish were used in a bid to coax the cat out, but nothing was successful - although she did manage to capture a seagull.
This attempted rescue was called off at around 5pm and at that point, Hatty's owner Kirsty had spent the best part of ten hours down at the foot of the bridge waiting for her safe arrival.
There were plans for the RSPCA, firefighters and Network Rail to meet at 11.30pm on Wednesday evening to attempt a second rescue.
There were also plans to close a section of the railway in the early hours of this morning so firefighters could carry out the rescue from the railway tracks.
But neither were needed and after she returned home, Kirsty has thanked everyone who helped in attempting to rescue Hatty, as well as everyone who offered support.
She added: "I'd like to thank Dawn for going above and beyond, Jim from the RSPCA for all his help, Saltash fire crew for all their efforts.
"I'd also like to thank the people who have followed Hatty's story and the community in Saltash for rallying around, especially the ones who tried so hard to help get Hatty home."
RSPB hit out at local council for netting up a cliff stopping birds from nesting

Bird lovers hit out at a council putting up netting on a cliff side preventing sand martins from nesting.
The RSPB say that the netting is risking the lives of the birds as they may get stuck in it.
The RSPB shared a video on Twitter and said the effect of the material, which resembles a football net, was "heart breaking" and said that the council "have not taken out (and their contractor's) original advice."
The netting was put up on the Bacton cliff side, Norfolk, to deter wildlife from nesting during a project to stop erosion.
North Norfolk District Council (NNDC) will move 1.8 million cubic metres of sand from the cliff side and on to the beach.
The council says this will protect Bacton village from flooding for "up to 20 years".
An online petition to stop the nets, has been created to: "Grant legal protection to Swallow, Swift and Martin nest sites not just nests."
The petition has gained over 25,000 signatures to protect locations similar to the Bacton coast.
A spokesperson for the RSPB said: "We are disappointed that North Norfolk District Council have placed netting on the cliffs at Bacton to prevent sand martins from nesting.
We can confirm the Council's actions do not follow RSPB advice, or indeed their own construction plans."
Based on the images we have seen published, our advice has not been followed and we will be reaching out to NNDC to offer further advice and support."
The decision has sparked outrage on social media, with some users sharing videos saying: "These innocent Sand Martins have travelled thousands of miles to revisit our amazing country & to find their nest sites netted up like this is crazy.
"Whoever's ordered this, needs their family home taken from them!"
A North Norfolk District Council spokesman said: “The Bacton/Walcott Coastal Management Scheme (the Bacton Sandscaping Scheme) is a highly complex project.
“It has been designed to protect hundreds of homes in Bacton and Walcott, and the critical infrastructure of Bacton Gas Terminal, for many years to come, and has been five years in the planning.
“It has been subject to full environmental impact assessment, planning permission and marine licence applications.
“We understand that the RSPB have concerns around the temporary netting element of the project and we are intending to meet with them and contractors on site to fully assess what those concerns are."

North Norfolk District Council have given into pressure and have agreed to remove controversial netting on a cliff side that is preventing birds from accessing their nests.
Following a meeting with the Nature's Voice the Council have announced: "Following positive discussions with the RSPB and Natural England today, we have instructed contractors to remove the upper levels of netting on Bacton cliffs.
"Minimum levels will be retained to assist in progressing with this critical project to protect people’s homes and national infrastructure.
"Following this, ongoing discussions will take place between NNDC and the RSPB about the material to be used on the lower section of cliff to allow this to happen.
"Please also be aware that these cliffs are not safe to climb on. Please don’t attempt to do this. A team of abseiling professionals will carry out the work in the next 24 hours."
The RSPB are unhappy with the result as it doesn't go far enough to protect sand martins and other birds.
A spokesperson said: "The issue and images of the Bacton cliff netting have been very upsetting for all.
"We are pleased to have had a conversation with North Norfolk District Council this afternoon about the situation. During the conversation, the Council committed to removing the netting covering the upper section of the cliffs tomorrow once their abseiling teams are available.
“We will be taking up an invitation from the Council to visit the site as soon as possible this week to discuss our outstanding concerns. This will cover our concerns regarding the 1.3km length of the netted cliff face that will remain.
"We will ask the Council to reduce this to 50m maximum and keep to a height of 7m. We will also be raising the issue of the material currently in use.
"We will be re-outlining our original recommendation of geotextile meshing to ensure that the burrows in the sandscaping zone are not smothered; in addition, by using geotextile it will also ensure no birds can be trapped.
“We will continue to keep everyone updated as the situation develops. Thank you for your concern regarding the sand martins.”
Two separate online petitions in connection have been signed by hundreds of thousands of people.
The petition 'Make 'netting' hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting a criminal offence' has over 260,000 signatures, and was supported by Labour MP and Shadow Secretary of State for Education Angela Rayner.
The other, 'Grant legal protection to Swallow, Swift and Martin nest sites not just nests' has close to 40,000 signatures.
A protest has been organised at Bacton beach, Norfolk at 5pm this evening (8/9), by a private Facebook group in which members have threatened to remove the netting themselves.
The hashtag 'NetsDownForNature' has been trending on Twitter throughout the day.

Shocking footage shows brainless driver going the wrong way on the M1

Shocking footage shows a brainless driver risking lives by going the wrong way on the M1 – before trying to correct his error by reversing up the fast lane.
The elderly motorist turned right and crossed three lanes of the busy motorway before driving towards oncoming traffic.
When the male driver realised his mistake he tried to reverse back along the fast lane before pulling forward again.
The driver eventually manages to reverse back up the road before driving the wrong way down the sliproad.
The video shows the hapless motorist join the southbound carriageway of the M1 at Milton Keynes, Bucks., at 1pm on Monday (1/4).
Lorry driver Mark Thomas, 54, captured the terrifying moment on his dashcam as he drove from Tilbury Docks in Essex.
The divorced dad-of-one, of Shrewsbury, Shrops., said: “I was really shaken up by it, he could have killed someone, I couldn’t believe it.
“I was driving in the middle lane and noticed in the distance was not quite right.
“I was doing around 60mph when I saw the car coming up on the fast lane, and slowed down to 40mph in an instant.
“I just slowed right down and put on the hazard warning lights.
“I could see a young bloke in the white van next to me brake hard and he was really straining on the seatbelt.
“The man in the silver car looked like he was 65 to 70 and was very confused.
“He might not have understood the signs. I wondered if he might be a foreigner.
“When he was reversing on the fast lane I was shouting out the window at him to turn around, in fact I went hoarse from shouting.
"He tried reversing back down the carriageway a couple of times until he weaved his way back down the fast lane and goes the wrong way down the slip road.
"It was lucky it was a clear day because if it had been foggy that would have been it. The road was busy with cars and lorries like mine and he could have caused carnange.
“I have been a trucker for 32 years and this is the first time I’ve seen anything like this.
“I sent the dashcam to the police and they say someone has already reported it, I don’t know what’s happened to the driver."

Brave six-year-old saves baby brother’s life by choosing to become his bone marrow donor
Image by: Kelsey Stynes
A six-year-old girl and her baby brother are closer than ever after she bravely saved his life -- by becoming his bone marrow donor.
Caleb Ashby needed an urgent bone marrow transplant after a shortage of infection-fighting blood cells left him in danger of being killed by a common cold.
Big sister Sophia was an 100% match and bravely demanded her worried parents to let her be a donor by declaring: "If I give Caleb my bones he will live”.
The schoolgirl had her bone marrow extracted from her hip, before it was donated to poorly Caleb, just a few beds away.
Parents Kelsey Stynes, 28, and Lee Ashby, 31, had to wait for two weeks to find out Caleb’s body had 100% accepted his sister’s bone marrow.
Four weeks on, the four-month-old is set to make a full recovery, but protective Sophia - who has a stronger bond than ever with her little brother - has refused to leave his side.
She's recovered from her op, but is attending the hospital school after being given special permission to keep a close eye on him until he goes home in six to eight weeks.
Beautician Kelsey, from Barwell, Leicestershire, said: "It makes me so emotional just thinking about it.
"I am completely overwhelmed by it all. She just amazes me. She has been fantastic for the whole way through this.
“She hasn’t stopped smiling and she knows she has done a good thing but I’m not sure if she knows how amazing she is.
“If she didn’t want to go ahead with it then we wouldn’t have Caleb here with us now.
“She saved Caleb’s life. She has done an amazing job and without her we wouldn’t have reached where we are now.”
Mum-of-four Kelsey, who has two other sons, Zachary, one, and Tyler, eight, found out Caleb was going to be born with a heart defect when she was 22 weeks pregnant.
He had truncus arteriosus - only one large blood vessel leading from his heart instead of two - and a hole in his heart, when he was born in December last year.

At just two-weeks-old Caleb underwent a major eight-hour operation, in January, to insert a plastic stent into his heart to do the job of the blood vessel he was born without.
Caleb spent five days in intensive care and doctors soon realised the newborn’s wound was not healing.
Further tests revealed he had “no white bloods at all” meaning he was at serious risk of infection.
Doctors warned he could be killed by a common cold and his body was too weak to properly recover from the heart surgery.
They discovered he had bone marrow failure - when the soft centre of the bones fails to produce enough healthy blood cells to keep up with the body’s needs.
Kelsey says doctors said if they had known about Caleb’s blood condition, they wouldn't have performed the heart surgery.
The family were told the only option to save his life was a bone marrow transplant, to give him a new immune system.
Kelsey said: “It was very touch and go at that point. We thought we had been through the worst after his operation.
“That was a very scary time for us. We had to trust the surgeons with our baby.
“I was so relieved it all went to plan. I just fell to the ground.”
Kelsey, Lee, Sophia and Zachery were tested as potential matches, on February 18.
Zachery was ruled out but doctors knew even before the results came back that, as Caleb's parents, Kelsey and Lee's bone marrow would at least be a 50% match.
Because of the urgency and severity of Caleb’s condition, doctors had prepared a blood transfusion using Lee’s partial match before the results came back on February 27.
Image by: Kelsey Stynes

A partial match transfusion would have a lesser chance of success and would require Lee's bloods to be manipulated in a lab prior to the op.
The major risk would be that the transfusion would fail and Caleb's body would reject his dad's bone marrow - placing his life on the line once again.
But on the same day Lee was preparing to undergo the transfusion, tests revealed Sophia was an 100% match - handing her baby brother a vital lifeline.
Kelsey said: “I had mixed emotions. Sophia was so willing but I didn’t want to put Sophia through it if she didn’t want to.
“But she said 'I want to help'. She said ‘if I give Caleb my bone he will live’."
Doctors had already spoken to Sophia about what the test results could mean for her if her bone marrow ended up being a full match.
Kelsey says her daughter "smiled and was happy" when the family found out her bone marrow was a 100% match.
Sophia was put through a series of psychological assessments before being cleared to be her brother’s donor.
She had the option to opt out - but courageously stuck to her word and went ahead with the blood marrow donation on March 5.
During her procedure, Sophia was put under general anaesthetic before stem cells were removed from the bone marrow in her hip bone, ready to transfuse into her baby brother.
Then, having endured a week of chemotherapy to prepare his blood for a transfusion, Caleb underwent his second life saving operation on March 6.
If he didn't have the life-saving op - Kelsey says her baby "probably wouldn't be here today".
She says Caleb couldn't have sustained life with bone marrow failure and he would have been given end-of-life care if all other options had failed.
Thankfully the operation was successful, but Kelsey and Lee faced an anxious two week wait to find out if Caleb’s body had fully accepted his sister’s bone marrow donation.
During that period Caleb was kept under constant supervision in an isolation unit where he could only see his mum and doctors.
To keep the area sterile, Kelsey would have to change her shoes and swap her outside clothes for inside clothes to cut the risk of carrying germs from the outdoors inside.
But to Kelsey’s overwhelming relief, Caleb was given the all clear and doctors described the transfusion and a “textbook” procedure.
Kelsey said: “They were very happy with how it went. That two week wait was really difficult. We became obsessed with the numbers.
“I doubted it every second of every day. We just wanted to know if it had worked or not.
“He’s recovering well and it’s all about the numbers now. We can’t leave hospital until his blood is stable.
“He will have to be kept a very close eye on for the rest of his life and will be in and out of hospital for check ups for the next year.”
Caleb and Kelsey are still in hospital and expect to be there for another eight weeks.
Caleb is yet to set foot in the family home and is still being monitored around the clock in hospital.
Meanwhile his mum and sister are living at the nearby Ronald McDonald House, which provides a free ‘home away from home’ accommodation.
Sophia has also opted to stay by her brother’s side and is attending the hospital school while he fully recovers.
She recovered from her 50 minute procedure within 24 hours but was kept away from her brother during her recovery.
Kelsey says it was "hell" having two poorly children and says it was tough for her to put Sophia through her operation in order to save Caleb.
She said: "It was such a hard thing to do, as a mum. I spent all day worrying about them both.
"I didn't know what to do with myself and ended up just waiting by the recovery bay for Sophia to come out."
The family hope to be reunited at home within two months, and Kelsey says she is dreaming of booking a big family holiday to celebrate Caleb’s miraculous journey.
Kelsey said: "They adore each other. Sophia is amazing with him and they are the best of friends.
"They are closer than ever now. Sophia knows she has done an amazing thing."
Terrified family call in pest controllers after their house is taken over by a swarm of 22,000 BEES 🐝
Video by: David Bird 
Image by: David Bird
Amazing footage shows a pest controller using a HOOVER to remove a huge colony of 22,000 bees which plagued a family's home for ten years.
The swarming insects had built a hive behind the plaster above the dormer window of a loft conversion.
The family spent years trying to remove the bees from their three-storey home in the Eastern Green area of Coventry but to no avail.
Bee experts told them the hive was too delicate to remove safely and numerous pest controllers simply refused the job because it was too dangerous.
In desperation, the family boarded up the room and left the attic to the bees until one pest controller came up with an innovative way of removing them safely – using a vacuum cleaner.
Image by: David Bird
David Bird, who owns Delta Pest Control in Coventry, spent several hours hoovering up the bees before transferring them to a sealed container.
They were then transported to an apiary where they will be used to produce honey.
Mr Bird said: “The homeowners have had an outstanding problem with a number of years.
“They were told by a number of pest controllers that it was impossible to remove.
“We opened it up to remove these bees.
“It's an exceptionally large colony for this time of year. We think there are around 22,000.
“We found somewhere nice, warm and safe for them.
“Bees make their way into little voids in people's homes due to the mild weather.
“A Queen bee would have swarmed there with a few other bees.
“The swarm would have originally been the size of a basketball.
“They stay pretty well enclosed in one place.
“This was a dormer window on a third floor bedroom, a spare room.
“The homeowners weren't in any danger.
Image by: David Bird
Image by: David Bird
“We had to take away the plaster to gain access to them.
“The temperament of these bees is quite calm and relaxed.
“Bees keep themselves to themselves – they don't go on attack mode easily.
“We used a normal vacuum and then transfer them to a bee transport box.
“They are jam packed in there – it's about 40cm by 20cm by 2cm.
“We will take them to an apiary in the north of England. We are still still talking to the bee keeper so can't say which one yet.
“Once the beekeeper has found they are comfortable, he will put them to work in a good hive.
“The beekeeper will get honey out of it.
“They haven't got a very good chance of surviving if they are in the wild.
“You can't just put them in the woods and hope for the best.”
Barbie loving woman colours all her belongings PINK – including her house, car and caravan

Wacky Sally Owen has brightened up her life by colouring all her possessions - including her house, car and even pots and pans - bright PINK.
The 48-year-old's modest village home is now a tourist hotspot after having the garish makeover.
She loves the colour so much, every one of her belongings is pink, including her car, caravan, hair, and even her cups and saucers.
Her obsession even extends to her meals, with her favourite food being prawn cocktail washed down with rose wine.
The mum-of-one, nicknamed "Pinky", is a well known figure in her home village of Linton, Derbys.
Her partner, bus driver Jason Dodds, 51, has embraced her love of everything pink and even gave her a brightly coloured Mazda MX5 at Christmas.
Sally, who runs a pet auction, said: "You've got to put a bit of colour in your life and mine is just pink.
"I always wear pink. Everything's pink.
"It's just my favourite colour.
"I've got a vintage caravan that's pink, it's all pink inside.
"There's nothing wrong with it.

"We had been living in our house for five years when one day I thought it needed a change to brighten it up.
“All the houses around here are a bit samey and I was determined that ours would stand out.
“I bought a dark shade of pink masonry paint from B&Q and slapped it on the walls.
“It came out much brighter and colourful than I’d even hoped for. It’s a good job the neighbours are good friends.
"I just love the colour, I have always liked it. I thought why not? My partner doesn't mind.
"Jason did get a bit of stick at work at first but they are used to it now. He wears pink as well sometimes.
"I am having some hanging baskets made and I have specified that they need to be big and pink.
"It does get a lot of smiles.
"The house brightens the area up a bit and I don't think there is a problem.
"It does get a lot of reaction, especially from children, and people park across the road so they can have their photo take with it – I never expected my obsession to turn my house into a tourist spot.
"They used to knock to ask first but I don't mind.
"If it makes them happy then I am happy with that.
"The front room is pink. I have unicorn pink kitchen and a pink garden, bedroom and caravan.”
Jason said: “I think it’s great. I don’t mind living in a pink Barbie universe. If it makes Sally happy then I’m happy.
“I sometimes get odd looks when I drive her car into town but I think it’s funny.”

Shocking footage shows brainless driver stopping on motorway while young boy has a wee
Image by: Video Contributor 8
Police are hunting a brainless BMW driver who was caught on dashcam stopping on a busy motorway – to let his child out for a WEE.
The motorist parked with his hazard lights flashing on the southbound carriageway of the M1 just yards away from an exit for a services.
Dashcam shows a little boy in a white shirt and grey trousers crouching down to relief himself before getting back into the silver car.
The shocked driver captured the motorist’s insane actions last Friday (29/3) at 5pm during busy rush-hour traffic near Northampton.
The driver, who did not want to be named but posted the footage online, said: "I was heading home from work at around 5pm on the M1.
"I was in lane one which is the turn off for junction 16.
"There was a lorry in front of me but then it moved into the second lane.
"I could see that there was a car in front but the sun was low so I couldn't see his hazard lights which were on.
"I had to stop in a live lane of the motorway behind this mindless idiot.
"I saw a young a lad, about six or seven crouching down and having a wee on the carriageway.
"It was crazy, I've never seen anything like that before.
"I was pressing my horn to tell him to get out of the way.
"What I saw was beyond belief and it could have easily resulted in a serious injury or
even death.
"I was afraid the cars behind me wouldn't be able to stop in time.
"I was fearful of someone going into the back of my car, which would have sent me into his.
"Maybe the driver thought it was a hard shoulder but it's clear from the signs above it wasn't and there were loads of cars driving along it.
"After the kid was done he just got back into the car and they drove off.
"I pulled up next to him and told him off but all I got in return was two fingers, which was charming.
"He didn't even recognize that he had done wrong.
"I was there for less than a minute but that's all it takes for to have been an accident.
"I just want to put this out there so it shows people just how dangerous it.
"We were literally 30 seconds from the next exit, which is what makes this all more ridiculous.
"There was no excuse for him to stop there. can be to stop on the motorway without good reason."
Northamptonshire Police are investigating and have appealed for the BMW driver to come forward.
