Protesters

[Macski]

With extension rebellion and other protesters increasingly targating motorists I wonder what is the law if someone jumps out in front of your vehicle, or even if your on foot and someone blocks your way preventing you from going somewhere, what are your rights?

Above is a link of a guy trying to stop cars from using a road - although it is OK for cyclists. Obviously he is not a police officer in uniform so has no legal right to stop anyone. Would it be legal to move him out of the way?

Isn't that what the demonstrator is doing? He's stopping a car ignoring a keep left sign.

He's right in what he says. It's open to argument whether he's doing it the right way.

Well its OK if your on a cycle, see cyclists doing exactly that in the video, would it be OK if it was a motorcycle as I often see people on motorbikes 'filtering' too, if it is OK on a cycle and motorbike why not in a car?
