I suspect the response has been a disappointment to Border Tories and their local media pals.

Zero deaths and collisions more than halved. Imagine if it had been the other way and the blame thrown at the SNP Government?

What’s the rest of the A1 like?

Britain’s deadliest road as drivers warned over motorway that needs ‘extra concentration’ – They explained: “Along its stretch, it passes through Rutland in the East Midlands, which is home to around 38,000 residents. Shockingly, the number of fatalities on the road in this region is equal to around five deaths per 10,000 people. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1989735/britain-deadly-motorway-a1m-crashes

That’s nearly 20 deaths in just one section near Rutland, East Midlands.

  1. Imagine, just for a moment, if we had a genuinely Scottish press and Genuinely Scottish TV news.

    We’d be independent in no time.
