Hello everyone, yesterday I went to pick up a car. I rented an Audi A4 station wagon. The car rental shop kept asking me to upgrade to an off-road vehicle, the X5, saying that the road conditions in the Scottish Highlands were poor and that the A4 had too low of a chassis. I didn't take their advice. Can any friends who have driven in Scotland tell me, what are the road conditions like, and is an off-road vehicle absolutely necessary? We're leaving tomorrow, thank you ? United Kingdom Q&A

This morning I went to the hotel to store my luggage. I stopped by the taxi parking line at the door to unload my luggage. The police came in less than two minutes. They gave me a ticket.
