Poll tax?

Think the poll tax was scrapped because nobody paid it 😂

Fair play anyone taking part in that has reached new heights of complete and utter loser behaviour.

Get a hobby ffs.

It doesn't really affect me but i'd say signing a electronic petition that's just going to be ignored is more pointless.

I'd say action does lead to much more direct results

For those who are considering joining this protest, they need to realise what it may result in.

Driving too slowly in a manner that disrupts other drivers is an offence under the law of inconsiderate and careless driving. This has an unlimited fine and a penalty range of 3 to 9 points on your licence.

You may think that there would be too many other drivers involved to punish every one, but the Police would be more than happy to go through CCTV and NPR data to locate each offender and summon them to court.

I agree with 79blue.
Driving slowly on the motorway is dangerous and the police should ticket and prosecute all who do so.

Agreed unless all the number plates fell off.

Drippy probably wouldn't care unless it was near his house and it affected him.

Driving without a number plate or an obscured plate will get you an additional fine of £1,000.

It's a shame people aren't as incensed by homelessness, poverty and decimated public services. No protests at massive companies making billions whilst people are afraid to turn the heating on.

The strikes at the Dagenham Ford factory led to equal pay for women.

The world is falling apart and these people are protesting a 20mph speed limit. I despair.

It’s just a shame the WAG didn’t redistribute money wasted on failed projects in these areas.

They want to expend the Welsh government at a cost of millions ( when was the last time you saw a AM) yet there is no money for school meals during term times , essential local government services etc.

The motorist is an easy scapegoat I suppose
