Then they go into stealth mode. Not that it ever snows in Grampian.

Most of the impatient twerps are driving without due care & attention - some are driving dangerously.
Looks like the video quality is good enough to identify registration numbers, so plod could get a few collars if they studied it.
Too many aggresive drivers on UK roads - some of them should have their licences revoked, permanently.

Bin guys down our way block the high street and can take 30 minutes o travel down it. They will not move for anyone, I have been in the fire engine with lights and bells going but they will not move. They need to think about their actions some times.
Under the 07 Obstruction of Emergency Workers Act it is illegal to obstruct an emergency vehicle with blue flashing lights. However an obstructing vehicle has to obey the law and respond in a safe and responsible manner. i.e. it is illegal to go through red lights.
A short sharp letter from the chief fire officer to head of cleansing department with reg number of bin wagons should solve that problem.
Our local bin lorries can block the street as they go about their work. OK sometimes they slow me down slightly and delay my journey by a minute or two. They do move over as soon as practical and wave other vehicles through.
Down to respecting all road users.

They are white in Grampian because they are so tight, sorry, saved money by not painting them red and taking the off the shelf white.

The bin men in Grampian will look for any excuse not to collect, so where I am they seldom block the road
