It is the drivers who are dangerous

Sir,

There is a lot of talk at the moment of the ‘Stay Alive on the A85’ campaign, but I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing that the stress should be on the bad drivers, not on the road itself.

I’ve driven the empty road many times at night and it’s done me absolutely no harm at all.

I was driving behind an Audi at 10am today in wet conditions and very poor visibility. The driver continually drifted across the double white lines in an effort to get past slow-moving traffic and eventually made his move, crossing the lines at great speed and overtaking several vehicles at once.

I don’t see the point of speed limits and more double white lines as they are all too often ignored.

What we need are cameras to catch the inconsiderate idiots who think they are good drivers but in fact are not. People who deliberately put the lives of others at risk simply to overcome their own impatience should be banned from the road forever. Maurice Wilkins, Laurel Road, Oban
