Common Local Pitfalls

1. A832 single‑track passing places

  • Typical slip‑up – refusing to reverse for uphill traffic.
  • Quick fix – select passing place early, reverse slowly if downhill.

2. Glen Docherty 15 % descent

  • Typical slip‑up – over‑using brakes on hairpins.
  • Quick fix – select 2nd before crest, use engine‑braking.

3. Shieldaig junction onto NC500

  • Quick fix – wait for 5‑second gap, accelerate decisively.
