I did it this very day. A couple of guys putting cones out to protect themselves whilst about to do some roadside gardening, I slowed down and got out as far as I could so everyone could get on with their day with the minimum of disruption. The 3 cars following me however, staunchly stuck to their lane markings and the one behind me even went for the overtake.
Seriously, has the race to the bottom of the economy gotten to the point where some consider road maintenance workers “fair game” and all consideration is lost?
My condolences to the family of this needlesss incident.
