A colleague and friend was involved in a car crash last Friday afternoon. He was heading out of Kirkcaldy on the B 9157, round a left hand bend, when an idiot boy racer in a red Vauxhall Corsa (what else.... 
) with oversized alloys and cheap seat covers, coming in the other direction lost it big time. In his attempt to prevent himself running off the right hander, he over-corrected and ended up on the wrong side of the road and had a head-on collision with my colleague's Astra.
My colleague was removed from his car by the Fire Service and taken to hospital in Dunfermline where he was apparently cautioned by two of Fife Constabulary's finest who told him that if he didn't blow into the breathaliser properly it would be "all the worse for him". This was until a nurse in the High Dependency Unit in which he was being cared for ranted at the coppers and threw them out. My colleague couldn't blow into the breathaliser even if he'd wanted to because of his fractured sternum and two fractured vertebrae.
It must have been patently obvious, due to the final resting positions of the cars and the areas of damage on each of them, who was responsible for the collision, yet an innocent and seriously injured man gets harassed in hospital by a pair of jobsworths......
Perhaps they'd have been better employed doing something useful out on the roads - something like nicking speeding drivers.....
Anyone know any good personal injury lawyers in Scotland?

Standard proceedure in Strathclyde and probably other Scottish forces too, to breath test all drivers/riders involved in collisions, irrespective of fault.
Maybe another points scoring thing. But these ones sound like there a bit ott.
