Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, of why you must drive with care on road trips on narrow roads in the Highlands or Lowlands on your visit. Driving on rural country roads in Britain is one of the most challenging aspects of driving for overseas visitors. Country roads are narrow, winding and often have poor visibility. Knowing what hazards to expect when driving on rural roads is essential in keeping you safe behind the wheel. Not only do you have to deal with hazards as you would on regular roads, but you’re more likely to come across a variety of animals, walkers, hikers, and cyclists and farm vehicles. If you see any of those on a city road you’ll likely have enough time to recognise the hazard and act accordingly. Throw in winding, rural roads and this becomes much more difficult, you will likely have much less time to react if one of these hazards appears after going around a bend. You may have learned about hazards in theory, but knowing how to react to them in real life is essential. Take your time when driving and learn what kind of hazards you may come across.
