| I have no problem being called a troll although I have to confess that I am not too sure what a troll is (outside of mythology). Some facts about me (although no doubt it will confirm my troll status); (1) I have driven for about 35 years, had one accident.when I was 18 and a tourist failed to stop ... |

| I notice that nowhere in the preceding posts has anybody in any way focused on the reasons why I am frequently 'Head of the Queue' and that is because I am in a minority among drivers. That is not an opinion but a statement of fact. If the majority elected to obey the law then the problem would vani... |

| Can we be clear here? Are you saying that if a driver elects to travel from A to B on a 60MPH limited road at (say) 75MPH that he or she should expect that other drivers who elect to obey the law should ensure that they make every effort to facilitate the unobstructed progress of the faster car? It ... |

Kaz... I think we may be at cross purposes here.
I hold up the traffic when I am doing the maximm speed which the law allows. If I 'frusrtrate faster drivers' then that is not my problem. My problem is with the attitude which is prevalent where drivers feel at liberty to ignore the law. |

| Taking that A9 situation as a working example and given that the weather was good and my car and I are capable of driving far faster, at what speed would you suggest I should have been driving rather than at 60MPH which I was doing? Are you suggesting 67MPH to keep me within the camera trigger point... |

| You admit you were a serious risk yet you carried on regardless How can I be a serious risk when I am observing the speed limit?? Surely the procession behind me were creating their own risk? Should I have pulled over and aided and abetted 3rd parties in breaking the law? As far as the group's aims... |

| For what it is worth, I have no problem with speed cameras given that I always stick to the speed limits - my problem is with the standards of driving in the Highlands. Given that I am one of a very small minority who do actually observe the limits, I am sick to death being tailgated (and overtaken)... |
