Just a warning to anyone using the M9 today.
I noticed some unusual driving patterns around the bridge at the Junction for Glasgow off the M9. Drivers suddenly hitting the brakes and some dodgy lane changes.

fortunately the Police had noticed too it seems and sent a patrol van to 'observe' from the bridge in case anything serious happend due to this pattern of panic braking.

I've also seen a lot of panic braking, mostly on the A9. Funilly enough it always seems to happen next to a speed camera. Last week I saw an artic jack-knife having had to throw on the anchors due to some panic braking in front of him. He almost took out a car coming the other way - an estate car, full of kids and a dog.

Still, I guess we are all a lot safer. Thank goodness for 'safety' cameras.
