KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Obstruction
Obstruction in road traffic law refers to causing or allowing a vehicle or object to stand on a road in a manner likely to impede other road users.
It may also include driving in an unnecessarily slow or obstructive way.
The offence does not require proof that another person was actually obstructed; it is enough that obstruction was likely.
Leaving a vehicle in circumstances likely to endanger other road users is also an offence and may result in fines, penalty points, and possible disqualification from driving.
Certain obstruction offences require a *notice of intended prosecution before proceedings can begin.
