The Master Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Report was sent to Procurator Fiscal. Then what happened? What penalty/fine do you get for being a stupid c**t who can't read multiple signs telling you not to take your high sided vehicle onto the bridge? 1 year driving ban, needs to sit an extended re-test if he wants to drive again and 100 hours of community service. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-29697028 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 A8 in Greenock (thought they would've had motorway status), down to one lane each way due to flooding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 1 year driving ban, needs to sit an extended re-test if he wants to drive again and 100 hours of community service. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-29697028 I remember being on one of those double decker megabuses from Glasgow to Aberdeen where the A9 was supposedly super-slow so the driver took the FRB detour. Got to around Bo'ness to find out it was closed to high sided vehicles but the driver's reaction was "fcuk it, I want to get home to Glasgow tonight pal" (pretty sure those were the exact words). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 To add to the fun today the M9 was closed at the Keir roundabout to Bannockburn. The M90 closed in Fife and no trains between Inverness and Perth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Did they say how long it's shut for? It won't be long, someone is taking some towels along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Did they say how long it's shut for? Probably until New Year. Then all these things can re-open at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thanks to this bridge closure I am getting laid off for three weeks before Christmas because Scotrail have taken all the trains that we were working on out of our depot. So instead of sending car drivers and their passengers over a bridge that's not fit for purpose, they are going to be asked to get in train carriages that are being "worked on"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Feels really good through here the past couple of days.A friend on Facebook is saying the FRB could be shut until March. Happy days for the 'you'll have had your tea' crowd. Edited December 5, 2015 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
