On a recent trip to Caithness I witnessed some of the worst lorry driving I’ve ever come across, more so because of the type of rig it was, 3 axle lowloader with rear lift and Scania unit. The A9 Inverness to Thurso (110 miles) has some fine bits of road, equally some not so good and very few chances for sensible overtaking within the speed limit. I caught up with this wagon at Dunbeath going south and had the misfortune of having to follow it for the next 60 miles where it turned off at Alness. Going into the dip at Dunbeath I saw him cresting the hill at the other end, caught up with him and he decided to put his beacons on, I dunno if they are required to be on all the time or only when wide loaded, anyway he did not hang about, sometimes nearside verge cropping, other times straddling the white line, I don’t know if it was the speed he was going, but the trailer seemed to snake quite a lot, not truly following the unit if you get my gist. Using that road quite a bit one gets to know where an overtaking chance is on option, on the couple of occasions I pulled out matey boy gave it the hammer and that motor could go, so with the weather now turning to heavy rain I resigned myself to stay at a safe distance.
I use a dashcam for transport photo collecting and no other purpose. I wouldn’t shop anyone, knowing I myself may have raised an eyebrow or two in my distant past , tho’ with downhill and a tail wind the best I ever achieved was 58mph with an ergo Mercury empty.

These are great captions of present day drivers Oiley, But sadley to say this seems to be the way some of these so called drivers perform on our roads today, As you said its best just hanging back & letting get on with, I sometimes wonder what their gaffers think when they look at the Tachos, Regards Larry.
Behind a fella like that is the safest place you can be. Better to be a bit late in this life than a bit early in the next one.
Not motorised but drawn by a pair of horses this is equine transport circa early 1900’s cheers Buzzer.

That’s novel Buzzer, looks hinged, with latches for fixing, or maybe I need specsavers, the carried animal prepared for show or maybe lame other than that can’t see the advantage of one horse transporting another horse

Hi Pete you picked a grand day for that trip for scenery viewing, out of Inverness along the Beauly Firth to Beauly, then Muir of Ord to Conon Bridge and Dingwall, (our nearest town) along the shore at Loch Garve to Garve Station, alongside the A832 and Loch Luichart, then nothing but landscape with Achanalt Halt next, again lots of landscape to Achnasheen Station, then wild country for miles to Strathcarron Station, now you are hitting real scenery alongside Loch Carron, Stromeferry where rock fall has closed the road and rail numerous times and so to Kyle where down at the quay lots of log timber is loaded onto boats, not sure where it goes, UK somewhere for processing.
I haven’t personally done the rail journey but the road trip many times and it runs alongside for a lot of the way
