So many cone
 

sssss

Is it illegal to go around a couple of road work cones, laydown by random contractors digging holes? :confused:

Is there a fine for such things :rolleyes:

Re: So many cone
 

I don't know the legality, but if it's the only way of filtering past near-stationary traffic, no one is working there and the surface is clean, I'll happily do it. I was working up in Scotland when they were doing a lot of work on the Forth bridge and I went through a coned area for almost a mile every day without consequence.

NO NO NO The easiest way to get points and a fine----------------believe me

Re: So many cone
 

Its only illegal if you get caught :)

Re: So many cone
 

Yes ,much like speeding,dangerous driving.:)

Re: So many cone
 

Traffic cones are put down for safety, for the workers and the public, so nevermind the legalities for now just what is the point in putting them out if people are going to go around them?

Re: So many cone
 

it was a clear and clean road that is coned off to directing 2 lanes into 1 at a set of junction traffic lights, they are digging after the junction. Stationary traffic for 50m, so I nipped around a cone to get pass a wide load :rolleyes:

points and fine :shock: tell me how much!

Re: So many cone
 

+1. I've done it before, and if I saw the need/benefit of doing it again, I'd do it again.

Probably highly illegal, but that doesn't change my previous statement.

£60+3

first bid: 120 quid and 9 points?

I once drove down "busses and taxi's only" by mistake - there was a special constable waiting for people like me... cue 30 quid fine :rolleyes: except he spent 10 mins searching through his offence code list, trying to find the correct code the offence. He eventually gave up and said "I'll stick it down as "Intentionally disobeying a directional arrow cos it's the same £30 fine and no points"... so I said "but that sounds like i've driven the wrong way down a one way street or gone around a pedestrian island with one of those little arrows on it?"

guess its down to the copper?
