Default people trying to clean car windscreen at traffic lights


We all went to a Chinese supoermarket today just outside of Birmingham, one area we drove through has a high number of immigrants living there. We were driving along & when we approached a set of traffic lights they turned to red, there were 3 men standing by lights who as soon as lights changed ran into road trying to clean windscreens!! They split up & target as many cars as they can, Stu told chap who come by our car no 3 times & he left us alone but the car behind us, which had 2 women in, told them no & they did it!! they charge £1 a time & kept tapping on her window to get money!
I was truely shocked by their actions, it's a wonder they don't get hurt. It's really intimidating too, especially for people driving alone or the elderley, it could be enough to cause great upset or sadly worse. Imagine being strange to area & this happening!! The dual carriageway is a busy & well used one
