Snap.

Must be a slow news day.

I did spot one of our residents videos comes up at the end - a run through a snowy Glenshee back in Mid March.

got to agree, this being my neck of the woods, he wasn't going all *that* fast and the road was pretty clear, and it's not as if the road is a major route by any means. The road to nowhere... sorry Dunscore  []

[david_taylor]

I agree the guy seems to be a reasonably good driver, and does not appear to take any major risks.  However, he clearly breaks the speed limit, so the press and police will always have the moral high ground.

I think it only means trouble posting these sort of vids on the net when people are pushing their cars on public open roads.  Would not do it myself, but I have to admit I always like a look![]

I also agree. He is not really going that quick. I do know that road pretty well though. Plenty of places for tractors etc to pull out of from no where.

Just asking for trouble putting that on you tube. Cant be that many mr2 turbo's down this neck of the woods

[jae]

true gambler, very true. I think there could be someone getting some un wanted attention cause of this, you pays your money you take your chances....

[monkip1]

I'm sure it's been said before but the 'national speed limit' needs to be looked at by those chinless wnakers at whitehall. The current limits were put in place in the 1960's when very few production cars could reach said limits. Cars now are more powerful, and have much better brakes which make them much safer to drive at higher speeds. The stretch of the M74 between Lockerbie and Gretna is the fastest stretch of road in the UK apparently, even faster than the M6 Toll. And no wonder. It is relatively quiet, visibility is fantastic, and the road surface itself is in good nic.

No offence to the boys in blue, but dottery old b@st@rds who hog the middle lane at 50mph and daft bints (sorry ladies, but you know what I mean) in their Chelsea tractors cutting straight across all the lanes on a roundabout just don't tick enough boxes on the monthly stats which is why you never see any of these twunts getting nicked. Drive at 3mph above the posted limit though and they always seem to be there.

There's a road in Stirling which has been covered in chevrons up the middle and there's no overtaking allowed. This means that on a clear evening when the road's quiet, you get stuck behind some coffin dodger doing 20mph you have to stay behind them to the end of the road. This is just as dangerous as some of the previous bad overtaking on that stretch of road because of the frustration it causes. Like the CCTV, it doesn't solve the problem, it just displaces it. If a proper dual carriageway had been built instead of a road 3 lanes wide, overtaking would never have become an issue.
