Ok, we need something like this here. Imagine a few thousand bikers doing 55 down the 405 in rush hour traffic. That wouldn't help things at all, imagine all the wasted gas caused from the protest itself!
Scores of bikers have caused rush-hour disruption in a protest against rising fuel prices.
The protesters gathered at Birch services on the M62 north of Manchester before heading off in a slow-moving convoy.
The demo was organised by motorcycling groups, but they were joined by some taxi and lorry drivers.
Police stopped traffic on the motorway before the bikers left the service station, bound for Salford. The Highways Agency warned motorists to find alternative routes if possible.
There must be a way to make this crap stop though. Look at who is making money on this and you'll find the source of the problem I suspect.
Is there any interest in staging a protest out there?
