: "If people don't stick with instructions then they [the Government] may well have to consider additional measures."People should see a lot of yellow vests [officers in high-visibility jackets] on the roads this weekend. There will be a lot of activity on the roads, stopping vehicles."
They said: "We need to say you can't drive. The burden needs to be on the individual not the state to prove reasonableness." "What the police have said is that they will engage, explain, enforce - the powers we have given the police are there to ave lives."
