Passengers of some of the vehicles, who were driven back to the services in a police van just before midday, said some of the motorists were unable to drive any faster due to those leading the convoy going at about 10-15mph.

Drivers of the vehicles conducting a rolling roadblock from Magor Services were arrested for a public order offence, breaching rules requiring them to drive at a speed of 30mph or more. But a number of the M4 protesters said they believe those who were arrested were 'unfairly' targeted by Gwent Police.
Officers then took the protesters into custody and put their vehicles in a highways patrol compound around a mile away. The activists on the M4 were surrounded by police on the Welsh side of the bridge at about 10.40am and arrested on suspicion of driving at 10mph, which police told Wales Online was lower than an agreed speed. Other protests were held this morning on the M54 in Shropshire near Ferrybridge services on the M62 in West Yorkshire and on the A12 near Colchester in Essex, causing up to an hour of delays at the latter. The M4 Prince of Wales Severn Bridge, which connects Bristol with South Wales, was closed both ways except to the protest convoy who held a 'go'-slow demonstration as part of action calling for a cut in fuel duty. Fuel activists were surrounded by police on a motorway and arrested on suspicion of driving too slowly today after causing delays to major roads in co-ordinated protests against soaring petrol and diesel prices.
