LennyW 7676 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 He was not even waiting at the barrier, he arrived at the barrier on the wrong side of the road fully intent on going through.

tgw 5213 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 it's somewhat disturbing that this guy is still alive at 77 with that type of behaviour. I wonder how many other victims he claims. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
