Correct. But the nature of the obstruction has to be actual and not
purely theoretical. For example who/what and how obstructed is
necessary information.

Also 'inconvenience' is not necessarily obstruction. If you are making
legitimate use of the highway (even a protest - Lord Irvine ruled on
that matter) then that's a perfectly good defence.
