Many people were panic buying petrol at a #Littlehampton Petrol Station amid the fear of chemical shortages due to #Brexit.

Hundreds of cars were queuing up outside the petrol station, causing buses to be late amid the ques and many cars were parking on the pavement despite driving on a pavement being a criminal offense under Section 72 of The Highways Act, 1985, this includes parking because to park there you need to drive onto the footpath.


Outside Cuff Miller, there was an employee directing traffic amid the high demand of customers (panic buyers) and one bus was directed to drive down the wrong side of a mini roundabout.


Enormous ques have formed over the past few days at (and outside of) Cuff Miller on #Horsham Road.


Secretary of #Transport, Grant Shapps, has said "people should be sensible and only purchase petrol when they need it because there will be no petrol shortages", but it isn't unheard of for the government to tell lies or spread inaccurate "information".


All over the country, there is petrol panic buyers, not just in Littlehampton, this is a national petrol crisis.


The reason for the panic buying is because people fear a petrol shortage, after all, there is a shortage of Co2 and many other chemicals so people will fear a shortage of petrol because they don't know what will happen next amidst Brexit's consequences.


Some petrol stations across the United Kingdom have closed to prevent petrol panic buying.


The European Union has said that "they will refuse to help the #UK with their lorry drivers out of the shxt they created themselves".
