Rolling Roadblock....

[rospa]

Spotted my first rolling roadblock this morning.
About 10:45 40 or so miles north of the M1/M25 junction.

It looked like 4 mrked TrafPol cars boxing in a white Vauxhall Vectra. They got him out sharpsih into the back of a TrafPol car and then they were all away. Looked like a squaddie.

Another traffic car was holding back the 3 lanes about 600 yards further up the road.

Well done, Bib's

If they ever need something 50 feet long, 8 and a half feet wide, and 13 feet high, to slow things down for them, I'm usually on channel 19

I was SO glad when they gave us speed limiters ....it made such a difference to the safety of HGV's

Sounds like a successful TPAC to me. ....could also have been a training exercise.

Cheers HerstBiker... coming to that it makes my old 888 feel sluggish Had an early blade, you have to love that engine!!! Feels freakishly fast without a fairing though. Makes your head wobble so much you can't read the little speedo at speeds that you really ought to!!!
