I was behind a car wanting to turn right across the traffic onto Queensferry Road towards Edinburgh from Cammo Road (I think) on Friday evening, BMW driver, sat in the middle of the juntion rather than on the right hand side of it, meaning there wasn't enough room for me to pull alongside him on the left to turn left towards Fife.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It's just inconsiderate and bad driving, it clearly takes longer to wait for traffic to clear both ways for him than it does for me to get a break in traffic.
The prick.

People who clear their car windows on mornings like this by scraping what is basically a peephole in their front windscreen.

The complete daftyy that almost ran me of my motorbike today.
I’m in the bus lane which ends and goes into a normal straight in lane at the lights. He’s in the outside lane and needs to move across.
I’m pretty much level with his front bumper as he starts to indicate so all he needs to do is slow a touch and pull in.
But noooo he decides to speed up and try and cut in front. Thing is the traffic in his lane is going about 1mpg faster than me so he manages to get half a bonnet max in front then starts to squeeze in.
Strangely enough I’m not minded to slam on my brakes to let him in so I keep going at a steady pace (it’s a 50cc scooter so I’m maxed at 29mph ) safely behind the car in front of me and moving at the general speed of the rest of the road traffic.
He clearly takes umbrage at such an affront and keeps on moving until he realises finally that he’s either gonna kill me or just needs to slow for a second.
Having won the duel, which was all of his making, I and dafty behind go through said traffic lights easily enough.
Clearly annoyed for no reason at all he then promptly swerves out onto the other side of the road, screams past while forcing traffic coming the other way to move over...only to come straight bang into a crossing light at red with three cars already stopped and needs to slam on his brakes to avoid a crash.
Quite why some would be so desperate to get 5 yards of road in front I have no idea.
And I would love to have seen his face as I nipped down the side of the stopped traffic and merrily skipped the queue of cars and relegated him to 4 cars back .
Normally I would have happily waited in the queue but just couldn’t resist on this occasion.

i have no idea why some people are so desperate to get one or two cars further up the queue.
on Sunday I was driving round the bypass heading east, there was slow moving traffic from Hermiston bait to about dreghirn, then it picked up a bit. I watched a Mercedes join at Barberton level with me, and weave their way through the traffic, undertaking and overtaking, several times relying on other people’s driving skills to keep them alive, diving into tiny gaps, only to come off at Lothianburn, about 3 cars in front of where he’d have been if he’d just stayed where he/she was, but no, it was far more important to put dozens of lives at risk, to save around 5 seconds.

Bawbags that use fog lights when visibility is down to a minimum of 100mtrs.
Bawbags that are using fullbeams but don't dip their lights when coming around a corner."You opened the box....and your soul belongs to me...."

When your skooshers get frozen and you can't clean your window!
I was out the van about half a dozen times yesterday doing it with a spray bottle I keep handy. I even came off the motorway twice to do it!
Don't start me on the low sun.
And definitely don't start me on a combination of a dirty screen and bright sunshine!!!!Space to let

The fact that the windows on my car don't contact with the rubber strips as they go down, so winding the window down and up doesn't clear any condensation.

I used the winter directions on the bottle. It's fine in the reservoir and the pipes up to the wee end bit.
A temporary fix I found was spraying the nozzle directly with my deicer aerosol.Space to let

I agree. Possibly the most dangerous natural event on the roads.

People who don’t notice the traffic is moving again because they are starring down at their phones.

I wear a helmet camera but thankfully never needed to use the footage, if I got paid for catching people on their phones or going through red lights I’d be very rich.

People that stop their car either at the roadside or in car parks, get out the car leaving the drivers door wide open and walk round to the boot or passenger side making it awkward to pass them without taking their door off.........why??? Close the door you morons
