Oh dear. What a pity. What a shame. Silly woman forget her green cross code. Will she be stupid enough to try this stunt again? If the police refuse to exercise their powers re Highway obstruction can we expect more of these drivers to enforce their right to unhindered progress.?

When something like this occurs I am reminded of the Quaker who found a burglar in his home. Lifting his hunting rifle he said, Friend, I wouldn't harm you for the all the world but you're standing where I'm about to shoot. The driver should have shouted I don't want to harm you but you're standing where I'm about to drive.

Quote from the article:
‘In a press release, the group quoted one of its supporters, Sarah Benn, 56, a former NHS GP of 32 years from Birmingham, as saying: “As a doctor, I have dealt with many emergencies, and the first thing you do in that situation is to urgently remove what is causing or worsening the situation.’
Which is exactly what the driver did!

That wasn't the case though. This protester placed herself in front of a moving vehicle in order to impede the drivers progress going about their lawful business. She was committing an unlawful act. A classic case of behaviour liable to cause a breach of the peace under common law as well as obstructing the highway. Peaceful protest. Yes. This was not. Any where else she would be guilty of jaywalking.
I expect more of this type of action to follow, and the police, yet again, will have questions to answer.
