Drivers outraged over sunglasses rule that could lead to £5,000 fine

Driving can be difficult and stressful at times, with many of us using clothing items such as driving gloves, a pair of dedicated driving shoes or even a booster seat to ensure our safety behind the wheel.

However, car and vehicle financing company CarMoney has highlighted seven common clothing items that many motorists wear, but could land you with a significant fine.

Items include long skirts or dresses, flip flops or sliders, and surprisingly sunglasses, with drivers spotted wearing any of these possibly facing a £5,000 penalty charge.

However many motorists disagree with the sunglasses rule - and argue that they actually make it safer to drive in certain conditions.

A topless Scots man brought the A9 dual carriageway to a standstill by staggering drunkenly across the road to berate a flock of sheep.

Thomas Degnan hurled abuse at the sheep after collapsing in the central reservation as numerous drivers were forced to swerve or stop to avoid hitting him.

The 42-year-old also urinated on the side of a car and then opened the vehicle door and continued to do so onto a nine-year-old boy sitting in the back.

Perth Sheriff Court was told that Degnan was so drunk that he had no recollection of the incident or why he decided to target a field full of sheep.

Grieving Scots mum tormented by drugs thugs after demanding probe into son's death

A grieving mother has been persecuted by a drug gang after calling for a probe into the death of her son.

A masked intruder burst into Audra Crerar’s home just months after her son Daniel Thomson Crerar, 27, was found dead in Edinburgh’s Firrhill.

His death was ruled a suicide by police but Audra has asked detectives to re-investigate events that happened before and after he was found dead.

She said her quest for answers has led to threats and armed intruders at her home “because she wants justice for Daniel”.

The 53-year-old bravely spoke out amid a campaign of persecution she has suffered from criminals who want her to keep quiet.
