Title: Is it just me. Shocking drivers on the A61 Tuesday. U-turns ????
Post by: Fly on February 07, 2013, 07:12:06 PM
Yes we all had nightmare journeys on Tuesday, but doing a u-turn on a dual carriage way  MD
They want bringing to justice, fined, and points issued. IMHO
Respect to Peter from Brampton who took the video  ;)

Agreed Simon. They were doing this the other morning at Temple Normanton when DCC? decided to cone the end of the Hasland Bypass off.

If I could have parked up safely, I'd have took a video myself.

I posted this on a Facebook Group and someone commented with this


"I think that you need to have your head caved in by a group of angry barbarians for thinking there is something massively wrong with what goes on in this video at the times you stated.

You fall into the category of 'Road Captain' and as such you are an asshat and I never want to see you on the internet again."


What a knobhead

Post a link to the FB group please Simon. The person wants his bumps feeling, big time.
I'm no 'Road Captain', but I'm totally against what I saw in that video  >:

Judging by the millions of people who are on FB, that will probably fall on deaf ears.
But, can't fault you. I'd just turn a cheek and ignore the t***.

Nice to know friends on here backed you up.  :) @Scimitar  ;)
