Six drivers are to be prosecuted for driving on the hard shoulder of the M2 after a fire engine trying to reach a lorry in flames was held up.

An articulated lorry carrying bales of hay caught fire on the London-bound motorway between Faversham and Sittingbourne, in Kent, at 10:15 BST.

"Prosecuted" meaning the drivers will hire a well paid brief and will strut out of court with a few points, having professionally adjusted their income declaration so the magistrates apply a lower fine.

You can in fact kill someone on the UK roads because you were driving while looking at facebook and you won't be sent to jail by default. :crazy1:

Christian Bale isn't happy. He was hoping to make a bundle.
