He thinks (and acts) that you can self appoint yourself as police, when he doesn't even know the laws himself - in doing this, he's endangering his life and others - he acts like this on the road, I'd hate to see him in the stores.
What an utter, utter prick.
If you have passed the signs yourselves seeing them show the emtpy lanes still marked as closed, and soon after sees cars starting to drive in them, it would be pretty logical to do some reasoning with yourself and understand that they just might have seen something completely different on the signs after you passed it. So utterly, mindboggingly stupid. Even if the lanes were in fact still closed, I know of no country where a civilian has any right to do this. I've understood this isn't the case in the UK either.
This driver should have his licence taken off him, and a fine issued, as he could've prevented (and may well have prevented) emergency vehicles getting through, when the lane was live, albeit at 40mph. His driving/blocking of the carriage could be construed as dangerous driving (i.e. 'A person is to be regarded as driving dangerously for the purposes of sections 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 if the way he/she drives falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver, and it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous')!!
3 consecutive months top 1! Wow, he must be the worst driver in uk.
