IWAS at the junction of Bolton Road and Branch Road at Ewood, Blackburn, last Thursday when, at about 4.15pm, a convoy of some 12 taxis came down Bolton Road travelling at about 10 miles per hour, holding the rest of the traffic up.
They were obviously protesting against something. I was then horrified to see that the front four or five taxis went through the lights on red.
These are the people who, we are told, we should travel with over the festive season to keep death off the roads.
Surely, this kind of behaviour is suggesting that travelling with these people could mean quite the opposite.
Please, don't misunderstand - I agree with the right to protest, but not with putting lives at risk while doing so.
