    Horrible, horrible scary drive down the M9 to work in Edinburgh this morning. So many places where the water pools and forms small ponds, especially in the fast lane. It was a toss up between staying behind a massive lorry, spraying me liberally or risking an overtake and aquaplaning along in the fast lane, while being tailgated by a "special person" (i.e. someone far more important than me who needed to get past me so he could tailgate the car in front). I switched between the two techniques and managed not to kill myself or anyone else but it took me 1.30 to do what's normally a 40 min journey. 

    Rant over, did someone say it might snow on Saturday? 

     

    Don't get me started on bumper lickers. Yep usually 4 cars in front of me and I politely wait 3 car lengths behind. Mr 4*4 sits on your bumper expecting you to move. I maintain the gap and don't move. It's great watching their heads shake and eyes goggle. If they try and undertake I close the gap.

    There's been 2 RTAs with deaths near here this month already, one of which was caused by racing at high speed.  I was overtaken by cars on the A9 at very high speed the other morning in 50m visibility fog.  People's utter stupidity when driving seems endless, and attitudes towards standards of maintenance casual, negligent and sometimes reckless.

    Here's the mild pish now we've all been looking forward to.

    Same yesterday on way to Glenshee. There is a bit where the road goes single track A93. A 4*4 who was up my bumper the whole way. Decided to overtake me, and I was forced on the grass! There were 4 cars in front of me and we were all doing 50 so not crawling. He only go past me and pulled in on front of me. I gave him hell. He arrived two spaces in front of in the car park. Arrogant idiots like that should get taken off the roads. Apologies to 4*4 drivers on here but some of them are Tos*ers! Must be an ego thing....can't be beaten by a wee Clio in front of the wife.
