Excess at High End

Here is the elevation of Sandwick, Shetland, but it's not the A970 which runs from Lerwick to Sumburgh Airport. On the stretch of that road between Fladdabister and Sandwick, a local man, called 'a total menace' on a previous occasion, was arrested for travelling at 90 mph, almost four times over the drink/drive limit, without insurance and while alone on a provisional licence. That's some excess. The Press and Journal has the story of this extreme behaviour.
