Lorry drivers are planning to cause chaos on the M62 near Leeds today with a go-slow protest - and a similar demonstration is also set to go ahead on the M1 and A1(M) in Yorkshire.
The Yorkshire Brexit Action Group has announced the plans on its Facebook page, although only 18 people had confirmed their interest in the event an hour before the scheduled start time of 11:30am on Saturday, March 23.
The organisers are urging people to join them on the route, which will start in Doncaster and go south on the M18 and the M1, before heading northbound on the same motorways, as well as the A1(M).
"We’ve got quite a few turning up, but more the merrier," a post of the Facebook event page said. "Let’s show these in Westminster that we will not sit idly by and take away what we vote for. Let’s hold the line in the name of democracy."
The go-slow events on roads in the north of England come as tens of thousands of anti-Brexit campaigners are expected to descend on London for the Put it to the People protest.
