So yesterday I attend the scene of an RTC (Road Traffic Collision) where I had to close the road. My crew mate buggers off (thats a whole different story) and leaves me there to deal with various matters, so I position my car (looks kinda like this but a different Constabulary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wglpJwQ1j3U ) diagonally across the road and have the blue lights flashing, end up looking like a christmas tree, I then put out cones in various places to block off feeder lanes to this road, and two signs.
The first says POLICE ACCIDENT (where the cones were to show the cones weren't just for decoration)
The other says POLICE ROAD CLOSED. (this is close to my car, just to emphasise the point)
These signs are not small, they are aound three and half foot wide and two and half foot tall, they are bright blue and reflective.
As I said, this is in addition to the Brightly Marked police car sat blocking the road.
At this point idiot driver decides none of this applies to him and drives up to my car and gets to within say three feet then sits there and waits. EVERY OTHER car is going in the other direction and he tries to drive up a road which is quite obviously closed!
Dumbass
*The RTC wasn't as serious as first thought and the chap who was run over will aparrently be OK
