IT HAS and continues to be a terrible time on the Thurrock roads. Every day, there seems to be a serious collision of some shape or description.
On Saturday afternoon, the London-Bound A13 was shut off after what transpired to be a fatal road traffic collision.
However, dozens of drivers created further risk to lives by deciding to do the following.
Drivers decided to leave the A13 by driving the wrong way up the ramp that takes you down onto the A13 from Grays/North Stifford.
One YT viewer was at the scene and described the drivers as “insane and ignorant in the extreme.”
An Essex Police spokesperson said: “These drivers’ behaviour was totally irresponsible, with no consideration about the possible consequences.
“Police officers were dealing with a fatal accident and are dismayed that motorists think they can break the law, to save themselves some time.”
At the ripe age of 49 I am learning to drive. (I usually put my driving lessons on twitter – millions of followers now! Serious though) The lack of courtesy shown to me as a learner and the poor driving skills shown by Thurrock drivers has enraged my instructor many times. Time for more cameras and test retakes.
I doubt many of them have ever taken a test in this country. Probably not insured in this country either. I particularly like the trick of registering and insuring the car in Eastern Europe then bringing it here to drive. Get hit and you’ve got no chance of a claim.
Hopefully the picture in this report can be used as evidence against the stupid irresponsible drivers who broke the law and they can be charges with reckless driving etc.
