A dangerous driving allegation doesn’t start in court. It starts at the roadside, often within minutes of an incident – while a driver is still shaken, still unsure what happened, and sometimes still unsure why Police Scotland is treating it as a criminal matter at all.

A driver is flashed by a speed camera late at night on a quiet dual carriageway outside Glasgow. No traffic. Dry road. The assumption is simple: a fine and a few penalty points.
