The driving standards in scotland are just a complete joke. Empty motorway or quiet at times - idiots drive in lane 2 at 50mph in the 70 mph zones and are still using a mobile phone glued to their ears. Lane 1 is always virtually empty, and lane 3 is a cruising lane for doing 60mph, and not moving over to let faster traffic by....
I drive and live in the central belt of scotland in everything from bikes to artic trucks, and the things I see daily makes you wonder how on hell these idiots ever got a driving licence in the 1st place. I undertake when driving now after a while now, cos I get bored flashing them to move into the slow lane, and they still sit there like useless ****s... holding up 2 - 3 miles of traffic behind them. The police should be stopping them and charging them with obstructing traffic... Make the fine 4 figures and 11 penalty points....
Yet you drive a truck, have good lane discipline, etc etc, and the police and the public treat you like a third class piece of **** .The 1st thing they do to HGV drivers when being pulled over is PNC check them. I hold the firearm and shotgun certificates, and this info comes back to the officers over their radios... To get them you need to be a very good boy, and their entire attitude towards you then changes.. I just laugh now when I overhear their radios saying "Mr. so and so holds gun licences
They usually just let you go then after looking at your tachos. "Have a nice day sir is the responce I get now"
