Idiots on Closed Roads. - Malcolm - 20-08-2019

I write this with utter disbelief.

We have just taken a report from Marshals that a car drove onto closed roads (sit down for this bit), was ordered into a lay-by by Marshals and decided to ignore the advice, do a u-turn and drive against the TT course where the driver drove about a half a mile against the course before Marshals had to stand in the road in order to direct the car off the closed road.

The potential consequences to this could have been catastrophic .

Police have just prevented yet another cyclist from entering the mountain section of the TT course.

This is a reminder to all that during the Festival of Motorcycling period cycling is prohibited on the A18 between its junction with the Hairpin and the Creg-Ny-Baa back road.

The Laurel Bank axeman and closed course transgressor from the TT was also due in court for sentencing yesterday but have not found out what he got.
