From Collisions on the A96 between Aberdeen and Inverness: FOI release Published 21 April 2026:
The total number of collisions on the A96 between Aberdeen and Inverness, broken into a table to reflect every financial year since 2021-22
From the post pandemic peak in 2023/2024 of fatal/very serious and total collisions, we can see a dramatic fall in 2024/2025, contrary to that claimed in the media report at the top here, and what seems likely to be a further fall in 2025/2026 with only 14 in 9 months.

Read ‘Deep Fried Hillman Imp, Scotland’s Transport’ by Christopher Harvie, Argyll books 2001. A bit of the background of the UKEngGovs’ utter neglect in upgrading and improving roads and transport infrastructure in Scotland. It started a long time ago, when roads were only really built in the Highlands, to er, move sheep around etc, after the English had cleared the Scottish people off their own land.
Also look at the National Library ‘image archive’ for films about public transport (and the lack of it, in Scotland), all while under Englsih rule. Why would you want a colonised people to be able to travel about their own country easily, that would mean they get to see how amazing and vast, beautiful but empty, their own country was..the English land theives couldn’t tolerate that!
Imagine what Scotland could have been doing even in the few years since the Independence referendum in 2014, had it gone the way it should have, to put those wrongs to right…sigh.
Still, at least the SNP made sure the new Forth Road bridge was built, spanning the river Forth, a major arterial route, and also rebuilding the borders railway. Just had a thought, I wonder if the Scottish ‘budget’ (crumbs handed back to Scotland after England’s government has taken the vast resources and revenues for themselves) will be cut again, I would not be surprised at all.
