A big queue is bothering the driver, so a video of people playing football on the M4 came up.

Protesters are causing “serious disturbances” on the roads today in response to rising fuel prices.

Participants exited various gas stations this morning and drove down the freeway at speeds of up to 30 mph.

Protesters “gather in the middle” near Severn Bridge on the M4, groaning traffic in both directions.

The video shared today shows people getting out of the car and playing soccer on an empty road.

Lines of cars, trucks, and heavy trucks appear to stretch for miles in the background of the images.

It is unknown when the delay will decrease.

Gent Police Commissioner Tom Harding said an hour ago: “Due to the planned protests, there will be significant delays both east and west of the Prince of Wales Bridge.

“We are trying to get traffic back to normal as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on our social media channels for further updates throughout the day.”

Many shared the protesters’ anger at rising fuel prices, but others affected by the unrest used social media to diffuse their frustration.

An English teacher had to go to work at 5:30 am instead of 7 am.

he tweeted. “The protest is about the costs of living and fuel. If people can’t go to work, they can’t get paid, which affects a lot of people today. They also burn a lot of extra fuel, it puts more pressure on the This almost defeats the purpose of the protest.

“Ultimately, I understand that protests are a last resort, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

Another Twitter user added: It will have more of an impact on people like us than on Westminster.

However, participants say they need to put pressure on the authorities.

According to figures from data company Experian, the average price of 1 liter of petrol in the UK hit a new high of 191.4 pence on Thursday, with diesel rising to 199.1 pence.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he would carefully consider the demand for a “major” cut in fuel taxes, as March’s 5 pence a liter cut could not stop price rises.

Vicky Stamper, 41, a former HGV driver from Cwmbran, told reporters today that she and her husband had lost their jobs due to the fuel crisis.

He states: “I had to quit these jobs because it was costing me £380 a week to get in and out of work.

“Two weeks ago I lost my job because the company couldn’t supply as many trucks, so I was first after all.”

Similar protests are planned for the M5, but police say there has been little confusion so far and traffic is free.

The group departed north from the M5’s J24 Bridgewater Gateway service an hour ago, but “some delay is expected” later that day.
