I'm guessing these guys would have no reason to be using their blue lights and the hard shoulder on a near stationary M5 today.
(Apparently they're a specialist in mental health patient transfers).
MH transfers can be blue lighted if required.(Apparently they're a specialist in mental health patient transfers).
They're not all sedated window lickers.

It's not just 4x4s.
There's a biker Walt near me.
Wobbles around on an ex-plod Pan European all stickered up as a blood/organ transfer rider, full "BLOOD" hi-vis and white Shoei lid.
The slightly worrying bit is the panniers are marked up with biohazard warnings and the like which could create all sorts of delays for the real deal if/when he ends up in a ditch.
Anyhow, on closer inspection when riding past, this nutter has a little placard on the rear of the bike explaining how it's not a real blood bike but a "tribute" to all those who provide the real service, along with some guff about it being intended to remind people what a blood bike looks like so they'll know to get out of its way.
So he's walting at degree level, and yet seems to know he is.
I strongly suspect the real blood bike organisation would have something to say about that. Whereabouts in the country are you?There's a biker Walt near me.

If so, some photos for this thread would be nice. Thanks in advance!

The terminology on the trucks is "cones are on" or "cones are off". There must be a lovely Walt phrase that fits.
Barking into the CB 'cones are in control positions. Repeat, cones are in control positions. Roger the offender!' When I said cones in my previous post I was just having a little in-joke with CC re ordinary members of the public using that word.
Of course in 4x4 circles they are know as: weighted base vehicular road hazard indicators, road traffic act compliant CE marked safety warning devices.
How we laugh at those that call them 'cones'...

As I used to work in a factory that made cones I feel fully qualified to be allowed to call them cones.Of course in 4x4 circles they are know as: weighted base vehicular road hazard indicators, road traffic act compliant CE marked safety warning devices.

Back in the 80's a 'cone manufacturing competitor' brought out a new type, and as I was a lowly apprentice at the time my boss thought it clever to drive me through some roadworks where he would slowly pass some and have me lean right out of the passenger window to grab one for further inspection.
Shame we didn't think that it might be full of sand when I grabbed it and nearly ended up leaving my arm on the A303.

So you are telling me that "cones" is just informal shorthand? And not an acronym of "Containment or Other Necessary Enforcement Separators" which is what I was previously toldOf course in 4x4 circles they are know as: weighted base vehicular road hazard indicators, road traffic act compliant CE marked safety warning devices.

Of course a time served one eye on the phone chap like myself though knows the real info.
I was told it by Derek in AREA COMMS, he was in the SAS you know but is now, he tells me, in deep cover after killing 20 ISIS terrorists who were plotting to take over the services at South Mimms. That why he lives with his mum, very clever cover see?
Anyway hush hush - mums the word! Well it certainly is for Derek.
