Seems Scottish driving has gone to the dogs!

Mu doesn't drive? And is a tractor a road legal vehicle in scotland?

Tractors show up on the roads all the time here. Which isn't great, as practically all of them are single lane! Haven't encountered one with a canine driver though, yet. They've often got a border collie sitting in the passenger seat, and those dogs have got ideas!

One of my favourite things about Californian roads: all the reflective signs, especially at dangerous corners when you're up the hills and getting twisty. In Scotland, you'd just careen off the side of the cliff. We like to assume everyone already knows their way around…

I will have to keep that in mind if I ever visit Scotland and am too busy driving on the other side of the road and operating the gear shifter with my left hand while trying to navigate the inevitable fog at night. Sounds like fun.

Are you back in Scotland?

Oops. Force of habit. Still to see my first tractor out of the fields here in Cali!

I believe that tractors are road legal vehicles in most of european countries. But canine driving one is new thing for me!

That's "favorite" in these parts, boy.

You'll need to head to the Central Valley for that. You won't see this in the big cities.
