Was reading about this earlier.
I really hope they catch the wee dhead.

Another young lad who's got a hold of a driving license and thinks he's a professional racing driver. frown
It's idiots like this that give people my age a bad reputation and one hell of an insurance premium.

"The man, thought to be about 20, was driving a relatively new, dark coloured hatchback, such as a Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra."

It all seems a bit sketchy.
There must be more to it than mentioned.

How do they know it has been the same person every time? There is often some dodgy driving from a variety of sources around that area.

There is mention of straight lining corners. That in itself MAY not be a problem.
Interested to see how this progresses.

I emailed the BBC about a story they published on the news site a couple of years ago following a youtube post. It led with a headline along the lines of dangerous drivers turbo blast and commented on things like 'the wrong side of the road' and illegal driving. When I questioned the journalist based on what I read and saw it fell apart pretty quickly.

If there is an absolute numpty regularly putting others at risk then I certainly hope something is done before it is too late.

I'm a bit puzzled as in the article it says, "Lochearnhead's community officer, Pc Andy Ward, said the car travelled the road most nights and in particular Monday, Tuesday and Thursday between 1900 and 2100 GMT"
Am I being a bit simple here by thinking he should be quite an easy person to catch given that information?
