People are unlikely to punch you when you're holding a video camera and surrounded by witnesses who can all record your car registration and thus identity.
Stupid, selfish people need calling out like this from time to time.
What those in the hard shoulder were doing was genuinely exceptionally dangerous and selfish. As was made quite clear, a couple of arrogant imbeciles had swished past the queue, trying to get off the motorway, because their junction was coming up, which had led to an avalanche of morons doing the same. People don't think about the consequences of their actions and this is a very clear example of such titheads.
I'm sure bellend would have done the same, because it looked like everyone else was doing it, so it's surely OK, which is why he's so offended about it.
It's not OK and it's a very different scenario to speeding on an empty motorway at night, which is a disingenuous comparison.
