I have my interpretations of the Corona virus Act, it has it's flaws, you've also pretty much admitted this too by commenting on it's wording. Another member has commented on the application of Common Sense.

I think it has perfect common sense for people to, get in their car, "alone" or with someone from their household. Drive to a remote location to do their exercising as they are still self isolating.
It's not the self isolating that is the issue, the more people that want to get in their car means more fuel they'll need, more chance of needing breakdown or emergency services which could put more strain on the NHS.

I get it's not a nice situation to be in but it's for the greater good, we need to try and stop the spread and protect the NHS so it doesn't get overloaded. I dare say the majority of people don't need to get in their car, they just want to.

It seems the message just isn't getting through to people though. I work in a supermarket and I'm seeing the same regulars who come in everyday or every other day still coming in as usual. I understand not everyone can afford a full shop once a week but it would help if they were only buying essentials.
