bluemar483 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Has anybody had any results from phoning 101 to Police Scotland. Twice I have phoned here to report potential life threatening road safety problems, have yet to see any results from the phone calls. I feel that if they are leaving communities unpoliced at times they would really have to put more effort into dealing with phone calls. The latest being that I phone tonight at 7pm - the hazard is still there at 10pm - I only hope this does not cause an avoidable accident...or worse.

shetlandpeat Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Depends on the safety hazard that is, who is responsible to remove it I would guess. I wonder, if it is such a safety hazard and life threatening, why you did not report it via 999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemar483 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 First time it was road flooding - don't own 'road flooded' signs to put up myself or perhaps could have done that. The second was a loose cow on the road - did try to phone the farmer but got no answer, home alone with a child so unable to tackle that myself too. 2thumbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2thumbs Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I suppose the cow incident may have been worthy of a 999 call, immediate danger to traffic and all that. Not quite sure though really what the best course of action should have been. bluemar483 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 The flooding would be the remit of the Highways dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urabug Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Is it just me, or is everyone being overtaken even when doing 60MPH. It seems that every vehicle that comes on your tail these days has to overtake even in the most stupid places. No wonder there are accidents and insurance premiums rising for the sake of sometimes nothing more than a few seconds if that, gained by these impatient drivers. Also keep a good distance from the vehicle ahead when exiting the speed restriction on freshly chipped roads as the chips get lodged in the tyre threads and "ping out" hitting winscreens & chipping car paint as they accelerate . Most drivers are aware of this but plenty of idiots who could not care less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
