PROBABLY the first prosecution of its kind in Scotland recently took place at Dumfries Sheriff Court when .a driver was fined £5, with the alternative of 30 days' imprisonment, for having taken a circuitous route with a lorry, thereby not effecting a reasonable economy in fuel consumption. He was alternatively charged with wasting motor fuel. He pleaded guilty.
