What does everyone think of this? Surely they couldn't make that stand up in court if you weren't actually doing anything wrong? confused

If you read the injunction you can travel in a convoy of as many cars as you like. If, however you cause a rumpus, then you'll get pulled if there are 5 cars or more.

Doesn't make much sense to me as the current laws seem sufficient enough

"an injunction that prevents five or more motor vehicles from congregating together, driving in convoy or racing each other on the highway who by their conduct make excessive noise, cause danger to road users or risk injury or risk damage to property"

Seems you can congregate so long as you don't do the bit in bold. Conversely, you can do the bit in bold so long as there are less than 5 cars doing it
