Title: Welcome to Scotland
Post by: Highlander on August 01, 2009, 16:27:12 PM
Let me try and explain. There are quite a few single track roads where I live and on such roads there are passing places. These passing places are the only section on the road where two vehicles can pass each other. The protocol is quite simple.

If you are driving towards the camera, you pull into the passing place (just as the blue car has) so that oncoming traffic can continue along the road.

Could the caravan towing foreigners I was travelling behind the other day grasp this concept - NO CHANCE.

Whilst travelling in the opposite direction to the blue car, I lost count of the number of times that one of these muppets veered right into the passing place, leaving me and my counterpart coming the other way, looking directly at each other with absolutely nowhere to go.


PS Yes I know the blue car has foreign plates ;)

Highlander you are lucky to have Passing places.  I went out this afternoon to get something at the garden centre.  I  took the back roads which are single track, came round a corner and met a tractor pulling a huge sprayer.  I had to drive up on the verge and he did the same, we only just made it.... What luxury you have in Dingwall....
Jacqui.
