Given the current state of them, I didn't think you could do any more damage to Aberdeenshire Council's roads.

Yup, they're tighter n' a ducks erse.
But, I don't have a problem sending the guy a bill.
It's obviously going to go to his insurers.
But probably has to go to him first.
He'll have got a bill for the ambulance too - which he passes onto his insurers.
I don't see a problem.

"The father-of-two was left fighting for his life after hitting the sheep on the unclassified Cuminestown to Fyvie Road."
Aye....wha'd expect a sheep tae be wanderin' aboot on an unclassified road....
Maist o' my favourite roads hae sheep wanderin' aboot on them somewhere or ither.
The sheep have the right of way?
ISTR that in some areas in Scotland where there are unfenced boundaries that this is the case.
I've looked up the Scottish Rights of Way & Access Society and phoned a farmer mate, but he must be out on the hill, so Im not able to get an answer.
This is just media hype anyway, end of the day it'll be down to the insurance company.

He said: "We regret that the motorcyclist was injured but we contact individuals involved in accidents which cause damage to our property directly
Err, when did the roads become 'their property' ?
They are public property!

My brother had the same thing happen to him in Northamptonshire, he went down on diesel on a bend with his wife on pillion.
A few weeks later he got a bill for cleaning up the diesel - luckily the bill actually specified diesel so he told them to go away as his GS does not contain any diesel so therefor could not be his cost. Not sure who paid for the diesel spill but he did not and they didn't try and bill him for the small scrapes that his footpeg etc did put in the tarmac.
He did do some digging though and he found that councils don't budget for repairs or cleaning after incidents and they don't insure themselves for having to do it either. As such whenever there is something needing doing to the street or road that it outside of a predictable things (i.e. road sweeping for leaves and general dust is in budgets) then they look to bill someone they deem to be responsible that hopefully has insurance.

Think I`ll send in a bill for the direct damage to my property ie: wear n tear on my tyres
direct result of the shitty roads and nothing to do with my reckless abandon and need for speed
Incidentally, about Aberdonians being a bit grippy, apparantly the fifty pence piece was designed by a loon fae Torry. The concept was that you`d need a shifter tae get it oot o his grip.
