Dorset Police are urging drivers not to panic buy fuel, with reports of traffic congestion being caused by people queueing at petrol stations.

They say it's causing danger to other road users - and officers are having to temporarily close some stations in order to keep traffic moving.

The government's adjusted their advice AGAIN - after backtracking on suggestions drivers should keep jerry cans in their garage in case of a possible strike by tanker drivers - now saying we should keep our tanks two-thirds full.

Labour leader Ed Miliband's accusing the government of "presiding over a shambles" - with sales of unleaded petrol were up 81-per cent yesterday compared with a usual Wednesday.
