Brexit: leaver go-slow on roads leads to prosecutions

Police stop leaders of dawdling convoys that were intended to cause 'gridlock' in pursuit of 29 March exit date

Pro-Brexit campaigners have been prosecuted for inconsiderate driving while trying to bring roads to a standstill.

According to organisers, the demonstrations aimed to ensure the UK leaves the EU on 29 March by causing gridlock on motorways and A-roads using a convoy of slow-moving vehicles.
