In the last few hundred yards before a coned off lane on a motorway, most, the vast majority, of drivers accept their fate, move across and start to queue to get past the obstruction, this leaves the soon to be coned off lane free. There is always one anti-social git who zooms up the empty lane and pushes in just before the cones start. Motorway Hunting Licences would allow licence holders to shoot at queue jumpers, once they were in the legitimate fire zone (400 yards from the start of the cones). The type and cost of the licence would determine the type of weapon allowed, from air-guns to laser guided anti-tank missiles. Part of the licence fee would pay for “Game Wardens” to enforce the rules.
