Only my second full $hunt at this honey pot, and was successful in stopping a good few motorists from paying the exorbitant "Toll" fee for using this short cut. What is apparent, that either the majority of drivers who attempt to drive through whilst we are there are either, blind, thick, very confused or very rich!! They fall into theses categories as they 1, do not see the signs, (Blind) 2, see them, don't understand them and do not know the highway code,(thick) 3, see them get all flustered as they have being doing it for ages, don't want to join very busy main road cant turn round and commit the "Offence" (confused) and 4, have loads of money and willing to pay (rich).
Then there is the so called professional drivers, ones who drive for a living or earn a wage ie taxi and private hire, delivery and trades, and of course the police (not on this occasion).
Yesterday was a bit a damp and chilly but like the others have said, with the amount of support from the beeping and honking of horns. the waves and thumbs up, (even from people on passing buses acknowledge what we are doing). and the local shop providing comfort break facilities you cant help getting a warm feeling and a sense of satisfaction, that you've saved a driver from getting fined and stopped the local rip off council from obtaining some more cash which they know they shouldn't be getting.
