Oafish twat driving SK07 AWJ on Hoy gives motor homes bad name
Road hog SK07 AWJ on the Isle of Hoy
Many of the roads on the island of Hoy are single track, so it is
customary for slow moving vehicles to use the many passing places to allow faster vehicles to pass. Not so the above motor home (SK07 AWJ), which we followed most of the way from the village of Hoy to Lyness. Despite a number of requests to let us pass, the driver of SK07 AWJ stubbornly refused to pull off to let us through – a manouvere that would have taken only some 15 seconds. Instead the driver continued to crawl along. The roads of Hoy have little traffic, so it is highly likely that would have been the only time they needed to pull over.
