CrunchieSquirrel Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 There seems to be a few cars off the main road right now (as in on the verge), I'm not saying I'm really concerned or anything but it is a bit bizarre that they are just parked there.

Malcolm Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 There is a lot of car share going on in Shetland. Cars not abandoned, just parked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 You just can't get the quality of cars these days, can you. Just breaking down wherever they please without any consideration for the occupant(s), and the folk having to leave them on the verge and thumb a lift. humptygrumpty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sure they are abandoned? Maybe just parked 'Shetland Style' BigMouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 If I am thinking of the same cars as crunchy squirrel they both were sitting at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 If this is on the Kames a bit north of the Halfway House I think there is some sort of council facility there and it is possible they work there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchieSquirrel Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I think "abandoned" might have been a little bit of a misjudgement...the title of the topic was rushed. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 It depends on the type of road. Some roads you are not to stop on or park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostrider Posted March 3, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) It depends on the type of road. Some roads you are not to stop on or park. They're mostly called motorways Peat, How many of them did you see in Shetland last you passed through.

The only time people normally park there is to use the track to walk over the hill. If someone parked there to walk the hills at the weekend then I think it's time to send out a search party. humptygrumpty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any road that has either http://www.justdriving.net/media/images/theory-images/AB2315.gif Or http://www.outlandsales.co.uk/shopimages/products/normal/7548.jpgmeans you either cannot stop or wait on. You will find these on roads that are not motorways and have such regulations in force. CrunchieSquirrel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Winston Smith Posted March 4, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 You don't find many of those signs outwith built up areas and airports in Shetland though, do you? I humbly await your pedantic retort. TheEagles, humptygrumpty and Aaron Foord 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmie Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 There are about twenty of those signs on the main Forvik interstate, just before the customs post, Only visible during exceptionally high tides and full moons. humptygrumpty and TheEagles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longdog Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yeh there's a 4x4 been on the verge on the Brig o Fitch/Black Gaet stretch since the weekend. I assume it must have broken down and be waiting to be recovered. If I'm parked up to go off camping or going to be back after dark I put a note in the window to alleviate any worrie, especially as my car could be mistaken for a dumped one LOL!
