| Sorry to join this late! Obviously traffic shouldn't bunch so tightly that no return gaps are available to overtaking traffic. As I see it (and particularly in the summer), this is the biggest hazard on Scottish roads. As a very regular user of Scotland's rural roads, I am constantly infuriated by "... |

It is definately a try on.

I would not at all be surprised if it never did. |

| Hi MOM, Reading between the lines, it looks very much like a try-on. Maybe PC Plod had a bad evening that night. Who knows? The fact that he did not show you any video evidence or even offered to show you the video is proof in itself that he is at it. This is further confirmed by the bully-boy natur... |

| Hi MOM, It sounds like a try-on from the police. Firstly, do you know if it was a traffic policeman? A lone policeman's testimony is insufficient on it's own and must be backed up by corroborative evidence (video etc). It all sounds a bit suspicious to me and I think he is "at it". Probably hoping y... |

Hi Paul.
FYI, I am very familiar with all of those things as I am a fully qualified Fire Brigade EFAD driver who has seen things in RTAs (Road Traffice Accidents) that would make you consider selling your car and taking up cycling.
Thank you for your consideration! |

| Hi Paul, I did read your last post. My statement still stands. Often it is necessary to get into the left lane faster than you would like. Just the other day I passed 4 vehicles on one long straight road. The speed limit was 60mph and a tractor was holding the traffic up. I judged the distance ahead... |

| It avoids "rushing up the rear" of the vehicle in front - I find that a very uncomfortable part of many drivers' overtaking technique. Unfortunately, this is inevitable sometimes. Living in a rural location, I very often find myself faced with the prospect of "convoys". One slow driver at the front... |

| EvilInky, Some thoughts. Some drivers are better than others. You will not dispute this as it is common sense. Speeding, in itself, is not dangerous. You will also not dispute this. Speeding at inappropriate times, on the other hand, can be dangerous. You will not dispute this. Let us envisage a sce... |

| EvilInky, I would like you to read this post by a contributor to the excellent pepipoo forum which has been on the go for some time now. Some of you may have already read this. Neither I nor, I believe, most sensible drivers object to speed limits (we may grumble about limits which seem to have no j... |
