Two motorists on a busy Edinburgh bypass were pulled up by police after trying to stage a protest by slowing down traffic to a 'snail's pace' on Monday morning. Officers raced to the section of road at Newbridge, just outside Edinburgh, where two drivers were cautioned.
Protests have taken place over the UK on Monday morning, July 4, in an attempt to get a message across regarding rising fuel costs. Commuters on the M8 were affected by the hold-up before police intervened.
The Record reports how the two motorists were attempting to completely slow down drivers around 7.30am, creating a 'go slow' zone on both the M8 and A92. This comes after Fair FuelUK warned of possible action against the sharp increase in fuel costs.
