Footage of a motorist wilfully entering a closure met with disgust in the industry
Shocking footage has emerged of a driver deliberately entering a road closure has emerged much to widespread disgust from across the Highways Sector.
The footage appears to have been filmed on the A5 in roadworks near Magda Park in Leicestershire.
In the clip the motorist - egged on by his passenger is seen to pass multiple warning vehicles before weaving past traffic management vehicles before driving through the full closure.
Upon reaching the exit, the motorist finds his way blocked by another vehicle before weaving through a tiny gap and away around a roundabout.
In an email seen by Stamp it Out, James Haluch, chair of the National Highways Incursions Working group expresses his about disgust and disbelief, he said,
"That video is shocking ... the total disregard for others is unbelievable.
"With the number of emergency service vehicles and personnel on site I imagine that there will be a great many video images of the vehicle and they will be following up, hopefully with a prosecution."
