A self-styled human rights activist drove her car onto a half marathon course because she was tired of waiting during the street closure. Runners and onlookers pounded on her car and shouted at her to stop.

British poet Joanna Pine claimed she needed to get to a writing workshop and was driving as slowly as she could. Not considering that she could have been shot as a terrorist driver plowing into pedestrians, Pine now admits that it was “a stupid thing” to do.

But she loves people!

Luckily Gomer Pyle and Barney Fife weren’t participating in the Plymouth half marathon.
