woodmally 10 #1 Posted February 27, 2019 So while the rest of us are trying to get to work to earn a living. As the tree protests have stopped a man with too much time on his hands is stopping people from getting to work. I know that air pollution is a problem but this wont solve it will it. It will just annoy people. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/police-called-to-protest-over-filthy-bus-in-sheffield-as-man-blocks-vehicle-s-path-1-9618293 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He did the right thing. We need more people like this to take a stand. Several 4x4s and lorries are equally bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Pyrotequila 402 #8 Posted February 27, 2019 Just because there was nobody on the bus when he stopped it, doesn't mean that it wasn't active on a route....so lots of people could have been late for work, missed appointments etc etc...

Resident 1,185 #11 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Typically South Yorkshire Police choosing to ignore a crime despite being present whilst said crime was in progress. Quote “The driver called his bosses who called the police, but when police arrived they asked to company to make sure it carries out proper checks on the bus, before leaving. They obviously didn’t see it as a criminal matter requiring their attention,” said Mr Rust. So they turned up, decided no crime was taking place, told the company to check the vehicle any way and left. Let's see what the law says: Quote Highways Act 1980Sec. 137 Penalty for wilful obstruction. (1)If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway he is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding [F1level 3 on the standard scale]. Looks like a criminal matter to me. Mr Rust had no lawful authority to prevent the vehicle from leaving. He had no evidence of his claims 2 hours ago, tonk said: Really? What are you on about?

Several 4x4s and lorries are equally bad No the right thing to do would have been to contact the company so the vehicle could have been inspected, not break the law and obstruct the highway Quote Edited February 27, 2019 by Resident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
