Motorhome meets caravan. Loch lomand road.

[Scottish Scrutineer]

I think it's not the road that's the issue but how folk drive on it.

Lots of A roads here are not wide enough in places for 2 large’ish vehicles to pass. I used to deliver malt to various distilleries on Speyside and other areas. You really have to keep your wits about you and be looking well ahead for pinch points and narrow sections, being prepared to stop, especially when you see it’s a big white box heading towards you.

McPhersons or Carntynes?

 

[Phill D]

after a near miss I stopped using that road way too many coaches and too many looking for a view of the loch.

McPhersons or Carntynes?

Neither, KSK Freight Ltd, Kirkcaldy, later taken over by McPhersons.

Both going too fast regardless of speed limit, caravan too far over, Moho should have stopped, no consideration for anyone coming other way!

Not a lot of dealings with them but think I used to see their wagons at Haig's Markinch or maybe Banbeath? Or maybe the grain distilleries at Port Dundas / Cambus?

Used to occasionally run grain or green malt to Cameron Bridge and Port Dundas, may well have done so after I left around ‘96. I was latterly on a powder tank, ran oats to Rotterdam and flour to various places as well as malt. I also did a few years of HGV instruction, then ADR instruction in Aberdeen.
Who did you work for?

I don’t take my van down this road. Wonder why.

And people carry kids in the back of coachbuilt motorhomes...BUSBY..

Exactly..... Just look a bit deeper into the recordings. Both directions of traffic pass SLOW markings on the road, the road then narrows in two places and in both narrow points there are no centre lane markings - essentially becoming a single track road at those two points.
The MH didn't really take any notice of the SLOW marking (42 to 39 then back up to 40 mph) and continued at that speed into a line of oncoming traffic that was already using the single track section.
Whose at Fault ? Mmmmm let me .

Diageo, but on the export freight side including bulk ISO tanks / road tankers.

Had a desk at Port Dundas and most of the bottling sites but used to visit the grain / malt distilleries now and again.

We find the simplest thing to do is stop in layby until a coach passes going in same direction and then follow

TBH I have done similar on other roads, we refer to it as finding a trailblazer.

Caravan was on the bridge already and almost exiting the narrow bit. The motorhome driver at fault 100%. It should off slow down and let the traffic exit the bridge( narrow bit), then proceed.
Same as the incoming traffic passing parked cars on their side, if they are already there, let them exit and then carry on.

The moho had just a moment before passed, successfully, another moho with a toad. I wonder if the caravanner was speeding to try to tuck in behind the toad so that the motorhome "cleared the way" for him. Discretion is, however, the better part of valour.
