The lane markings are not mandatory, just advisory, therefore road sweeper is doing nothing wrong. Relax and stop sounding your horn out of annoyance, which is illegal,
Under what authority was the driver told to stop? The authority of a crowd of angry protesters... how do you imagine the driver would have felt intimidated in his vehicle? How is he supposed to feel... how would you feel if a group of angry people stood around your car telling you to stop... would you stop? I wouldn't... i'd fucking run you over before compromising my own safety or my families... I wouldn't have flashing lights and beige warning signs... if you are tough enough to go round intimidating working class people... then you should first be clever enough to move our of the fucking way when you get a reaction. This man did better than I would have done... I would have gone forwards and carried on going... the fact that the police were too afraid to do anything about the criminal behaviour from the "peaceful protestors" says it all... how should we expect an untrained and distressed individual to behave. The people behind the reversing truck were purposely standing in its path in a blind spot...
First of all this driver entered the works' lane by reversing down it after entering it backwards from the east side and in breach of traffic management agreement. Then he attempted to reverse into the site, was stopped from doing that. Again, another breach. Then he didn't heed the call to stop reversing, and continued recklessly, twice, causing a hazard to everyone stood behind the truck. Only after that did a protector climb onto the truck while the police dealt with the reckless driver. This driver deserves to be in the top ten worst drivers of January. It's a mercy no-one was injured.
Nice person who gives way all the time. Courteous to other drivers.
