DRIVERS protesting against high fuel prices, including those forced to quit their jobs due to the cost-of-living crisis, targeted major roads in England, Wales and Scotland today.
Convoys of vehicles drove slowly to obstruct traffic in parts of Britain including south Wales, the west of England, Essex, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the A92 in Scotland.
Police officers arrested at least 12 people on the M4 in south Wales for breaching a legal notice issued by the police prior to the protest by driving at under 30 mph for “a prolonged amount of time.”
