We don't know they might have a good reason or as you say just idiots

FUN.

The place where "Innocent until proven guilty" becomes just "Guilty".

Oh yes.

Mind you, I think the odds are on your side, I'm a bit stuck for a valid reason to move a caravan. Maybe thrown off a site but a lit late for that now.

Even in normal times, I have had far too many car/caravan combinations overtake me on The M5 doing way in excess of 65/70 MPH, Especially the twin axle ones, but the single axles have a far better swagger on.
Bet many have not even got their tow hitch weight correctly set up, or even torqued up their wheel nuts.
Too much reliance on stabiliser hitches these days also.

you should try France, the first time I was overtaken by a caravaner at over 100 that is MPH not KPH I was shocked, after a while I got used to it.

We are on the move tomorrow, following a self imposed 2 week isolation period after returning from Spain. We have to move to our usual place in Leicestershire and I am dreading it. I know we will be judged as going on holiday

Seems they’ve chosen lanes 2 & 3 in preference to the hard shoulder

Lots of camping on the M20 mostly by HGV lorries

Is stealing one an essential journey, I wonder.

Caravan 'valued at £14,000' stolen as police launch appeal

Officers would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the caravan or any suspicious activity.

You’ll be fine, we’ve been out in the van several times since the lockdown without a second glance from the general public (or plod)

Dont let some members of this forum see you though

No idea why they were on the move and I hope no one was hurt.

However:

Perhaps put a sign on the back "Not on holiday, repositioning van after self isolation".

At least Leicestershire isn’t a recognised tourist destination.

We had to move between two campsites last week and fill up on fuel and gas on the way - I was dreading it too expecting to be stopped by the police/abuse etc I sheepishly but loudly explained to the garage teller why in case anyone said anything. It was fine - no one seem to batter an eye at our travels.

 

[MisterB]

Travelling community perhaps if they're in convoy?

People do need to be a bit more tolerant of others and not so judgemental without knowing the facts. Perhpas the OP was correct, or perhaps there was a good reason ..... its just that when the first conclusions are negative ones, it really does indicate a lack of tolerance ...

 

[Allanm]

The caravan accident has caused 2 miles of Tailbacks.
Never mind the caravan, why is there so much traffic on the road to cause such a tailback.?

Thought Appleby was the other direction.haha

It does in Somerset

 

[jollyrodger]

First reported at 1330 still tail backs now according to updates .highways having a field day to prove a point ?

Mind you it was some convoy

Somebody did ask the question on here a while back, where have all the ‘travellers’ gone.
