In UK slang, 'peak' describes something unfortunate, harsh, or deeply unlucky — so a peak shotter is a dealer whose situation is just grim. Maybe they're working terrible hours for someone else's profit, maybe they're deep in debt to their supplier, maybe they're the one who always takes the risk while others take the reward. It's not necessarily a dig at their skills; it's an acknowledgment that the circumstances are rough. Road culture recognises the peak shotter with a kind of grim sympathy — the person at the bottom of a chain, doing the dirtiest work, carrying the most exposure.
Imagine being out in the rain at 3am — man's a peak shotter, that's genuinely peak.
