Subject: Bikers bring motorway to standstill in fuel protest

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:37:14 06/05/08 Thu Hundreds of bikers brought the M60 and M62 motorways to a standstill as they held a protest against the soaring cost of fuel. Some 500 bikers staged a “go-slow” demonstration, riding slowly in formation. Their actions were cheered on by car drivers, many of whom applauded in support as they sat in the major tailbacks. One organiser said onlookers were getting out of their cars to wave and take pictures. “They’ve embraced this traffic jam today, that’s what we wanted,” he said. Michael Clearly, 56, a Salford garage owner, said: “I think it’s brilliant. It’s a pity they’re not blocking off Downing Street and London too.” A national fuel protest is planned for June 22 when vehicles of all kinds will take to roads across the country for a “peaceful driving protest” organised via the social networking website Facebook.
