During the Manchester action, only several psychotic drivers who were prepared to run people down in order to get their petrol from this particular station, succeeded in buying any petrol that morning. Most people did not even attempt to drive in, having seen the blockade and the huge amounts of police at the entrance. Several drivers who did attempt to drive in, having read the leaflet, decided to drive out again without buying petrol. One person was arrested, for Breach of the Peace, whilst trying to prevent a car driving in once too often, but was later released without charge.
