Louis Stead insists 'I'm no racist' after rant on LinkedIn | Daily Mail Online
Mr Stead wrote on LinkedIn:
'I am fuming! I am sick to the back teeth of drivers, mostly van drivers or ethnic minority drivers in the UK hogging lane two and lane three or motorways or dual carriageways.
'If you are a van driver or you employ them, or if you are ethnic minority or know van drivers or ethnic minority drivers, please speak with them.
'There seems to be this innate sense of Britishness that is causing everybody to be politically correct and think that it may be racist to post such things.
'Well LinkedIn folk, I'm telling you. I am no racist.
'Nor am I against van drivers but I have seen this morning, driving from Bristol to Brighton far too many vans and far too many ethnic minority drivers hogging lane 2 and lane 3 and this is dangerous.
'It causes other drivers who cannot get past to undertake.
'Lane hogging is a criminal offence and can land you in prison if its causes a collision whereby people are injured. At the very least, it is classed as careless driving - three points and a fine minimum.
'Remember keep left and only use lane two and three to overtake in.
'I'm texting my ethnic minority friends after this post to tell them to tell their family members who are maybe not so British to remind them of the law of the UK.'
