That's Exactly what we do Richard, We ride ahead and stop cars and block side roads as required. Generally the public are quite amenable and friendly. You will always get the odd Herbert who will ignore you and try and squeeze through, which usually ends with them head on with a large MV and reversing back. We completely stopped the traffic twice on the Dorchester by-pass for the A&E convoy. On the second occasion we even had the blessing of the Chief Contable of Dorchester.
Jack Becket has informed us that he will be doing this event again in 2012.
