Road Safety Scotland new campaign
The Scottish Government and Road Safety Scotland (part of Transport Scotland) has launched its Drive on the Left campaign, reminding visitors to drive on the left when visiting Scotland this summer.
The campaign sets out to help drivers stay safe as they embark on their journey to Scotland, by sharing useful information about Scotland's roads, which often differ from other countries, including how to navigate singe-track roads and passing places.
Drivers are urged to stay alert and be well rested to avoid switching to autopilot, which can easily happen when the roads are quiet, or a driver is tired. This can cause someone to enter a roundabout the wrong way or turn onto the wrong side of the road at a junction.
Visitors are also reminded that weather conditions can change quickly in Scotland, making it even more challenging to navigate long and twisty roads.
