I'm desperately hoping that someone here can enlighten my ignorance please.
What is the point of the current fuel protest, driving slowly on (mainly) three lane motorways?
How does preventing Joe Public from going about his lawful business in a timely manner, preventing HGV drivers getting to their destination, often with perishable food stuffs on board, get the petrol companies, energy companies and/or the government to do anything about the high fuel prices???
FYI lorries, i.e. articulated vehicles are not allowed in the outside lane of a three lane motorway.
OK, yes I understand it highlights the problem but that isn't going to get the clown in Downing Street to do anything about the situation. Shut in his ivory tower not subject to the delays other people are suffering he'll just ignore it as will the aforementioned energy related bodies.
