Driving Pet Peeves

[bingo70]

I live in Pitlochry, and I expect there to be roadworks for at least 4 years on the stretch of the A9 to Perth due to dualling. It should save lives in the long run as this year there has been at least one accident a week during the tourist season on the perthshire section of the road.

Feel a bit bad for using that as a pet peeve now, It is annoying though.

I’m really surprised at that stat, I can’t get my head round people speeding through a section of roadworks so short when there’s traffic lights there already slowing down the traffic.

[Scouse Hibee]

Have said this before but it still annoys the hell out of me, folk who don’t realise that two cars can still pass in a wide street even with cars parked on both sides. I get it when they stop and allow a van or truck to come through but FFS some of them won’t move until there are no cars coming either.

Just the standard of driving nowadays mate, add to that the big 4x4's that they can't drive. These are the same people who drive on the other side of the road when overtaking a bike or do big sweeping turns as if they're driving a huge lorry.

Bit harsh on the bike overtaking, much rather to give bikes plenty space in my opinion...oh and I'm not a cyclist 😁

Surely the traffic lights perform the same job without the need for a convoy vehicle at the front.



In my limited experience, I always thought the convoy system was used when there was a complicated or transient worksite and traffic flowed better when shepherded.

All for giving them space but not to the degree where an oncoming car is on your side of the road heading straight for you just because he can't judge his width.

[Pretty Boy]

Folk who think they have a divine right to overtake buses at a bus stop. I was driving along Niddrie Mains Road yesterday morning and some tit came flying out from behind a bus right onto the wrong side of the road and right into my path. I slammed the brakes on and he done likewise then got out his car and started ranting at me telling me to watch where I was going. Sorry mate you are crossing the middle line to avoid an obstruction, I have right of way.

Similar to another of my peeves, when you give way to a bus or lorry on one of these roads, and the traffic behind follows on taking up the same space on the road as the bus they are following, see it all the time on Restalrig Road, once the bus has passed, you end up having to wait while 10 cars drive down the middle of the road after it.

Obviously need to judge what is coming the other way but I always give cyclists an excessive amount of space. Seen too many of them weaving about (sometimes to avoid potholes, sometimes for the fun of it) and/or wearing headphones.

Cars turning left or right at a junction who block the road for those travelling straight on although there's still 5m room for them to move forward.

It often looks like a deliberate action to hold up other traffic. The amount i see sitting just far enough over to block everybody else can't just be bad judgement.

[Alfiembra]

People turning right at the top of the hill coming up from Colinton village is a nightmare blocking traffic behind. The parked cars outside the Colinton Inn and the chemists don’t help either, what a bottle neck that is. Especially during the rush hour, this more than any other junction I can think of should be a no right turn.

Demisting the inside of the windscreen on winter mornings. It's groundhog day again.

I just ordered a dehumidifier. We'll see if that makes any difference.

Have tried the small Pingi £6-job without making any noticeable difference, and not convinced that the bigger versions will be effective either. Short of taking car into house at night, or manufacturers coming up with trace-heated windscreens, issue may not be solvable ...

Urmm I have a heated windscreen that works perfectly well already...so well in fact you hardly need the blowers on at all.

Oh and this time around also a heated steering wheel which is the opposite of a pet peeve as maybe one of the best gadgets in a car that I have experienced!

Waste of time. Unless your car is 100% airtight the moisture absorbed into the dehumidifier will just be replaced by moisture from outside.

Meant something battery-powered that could be on all night so there wouldn't be any condensation or need for blower at all.

When you see the lane you are in is obstructed ahead so you move to the outside lane early as does nearly everyone else, apart from the ersehole who thinks it’s an opportunity to hammer it up the inside,right to the obstruction before indicating and attempting to force their way in.

Couldn't agree more. I come through the village about 5.15 most nights and it's a nightmare from the bridge at Spylaw Street to the lights. 😡

The ersehole is in the right (unless I’ve misunderstood what you are getting at). It’s another example of zip merging.

One of my pet peeves are people who think they have a right to park in a certain space on a public road. I had one of my parents’ neighbours demand that I move my car as that was “their space”. Not on a public road, but in my housing development we have residents parking but no reserved space. One household regularly puts a traffic cone in the space outside their back garden to reserve it for themselves. Not to mention their next door neighbour who fills our car park with convoys of little Fiats from his various pizza businesses.

I'm not talking about closed lanes etc that are clearly signed and merging is acceptable. For example on St Johns Road last night a van has stopped and parked in the inside lane, it's pretty easy to see so I pull into the outside lane in plenty of time as does several cars behind me realising the lane is blocked.
The ersehole then thinks he can get ahead of these half a dozen cars by putting his foot down and using the inside lane we have vacated to undertake us all, slam on the anchors at the parked van, indicate and get ahead by forcing his way in (or attempting to) we were having none of it and never gave him an inch.

Many developments in recent years have spefically banned them in the property deeds. (recent = last 18 years or so)

I think some deeds for residential parking stipulates no commercial vehicles but this is aimed at LGV's and above. Not liveried cars.

Mind you also depends on the factor and how hard they want to enforce it, one car/wee van they might let slide but more than that could be an issue... My factor was Ross and Liddell... Not sure of the detail but I remember the council were involved and they put pressure on the company and its operating licences. Worth at least asking?

You don’t need an operators licence for cars, only for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes so no pressure could be applied by council in that respect.

It was cars where we lived but not sure of what specifically went on, just that it stopped with, now a days, the occasional car parked when the guy had been working late.... Maybe they simply realised they were being a problem once it had been pointed out to them? :dunno:

They aren’t allowed in our development either but the guy either accepts the fines or (more likely) just ignores them. I don’t think the guy is the most reputable of blokes in the first place.

There were so many of them the car was unfit to drive!

Sounds familiar. I know people are probably thinking of a particular family. It’s not them but he was involved with them before he screwed them over. He seems to cycle through business after business with Fiat 500s being the common theme in each one. Now seems to be involved with another well known chain.

[Gatecrasher]

The lane markings are crazy, they change from right turn to straight ahead within a matter of metresThey have gone from a system that worked (a few idiots permitting) to one empty lane and one huge queue. On top of that you have people driving up the empty lane then wanting in at the last minute or just going straight through the lights anyway and through the hashed off section into the other lane where the traffic is being filtered into. Its a complete mess now.

The need to either put a kerb or bollards in to stop people using the wrong lane or put it back the way it was.

Always seems to be white vans when I see this happen, maybe its just me.

I was driving down towards Duddingston crossroads about half 4 this morning doing 30mph in the bus lane and this taxi shot past me at what must have been 50mph. Unbelievable that folk think because its the early hours they can just fly abut not bothering about the speed limits. All on dash cam as well.

I'd usually stick up for WVM as I reckon poor driving is spread pretty much evenly across all vehicles & genders but yesterday evening I witnessed a maneuver that was like something out of Starsky & Hutch. I was in a queue traveling north over Drum Brae RAB from Meadow Place Road towards Drum Brae South. There are 3 lanes to choose from, left for Glasgow Road, middle for Drum Brae and right for St John's Road. Being evening rush hour it was busy but white van man thought nothing of approaching in the left lane to go straight over, which was bad enough, but he then straight lined it which meant he cut across 2 lanes to his right then 2 lanes back to his left. I reckon he inconvenienced about 5 other road users on the RAB and the ensuing cacophony of horns was thoroughly deserved!

I'm a fairly confident driver, very rarely get into tricky situations and very very rarely get beeped at for an error I've made but see that roundabout when travelling North to South or vice versa I hate it. Always have and always will, so surprised theres not more bad smashes there.

[Gatecrasher]

On the Motorway when the traffic is heavy it slows down a lot and sometimes comes to a stop completely i found these two things happen.

1. people switching lanes all the time with next to no benefit and only slowing things down further.

2. as the traffic begins to free up you have the one person still driving at 30 or 40 mph not paying attention to the fact the whole motorway behind them is jammed with people waiting to get passed.

[Jack]

Just a wee peeve :-)

Whatever happened to the brush thingys round the wheel arches of lorries and bigger vans that reduced the amount of spray that flares up when there's surface water?

And because they’re pootling along that means anyone else behind them also has to join at the same dangerously slow speed

Happened yesterday after the Queensferry Crossing heading to Edinburgh, guy is sitting at just under 60 (in the middle lane, obviously), I moved out to overtake and he put his foot down as I was passing him, why do that?!

Similarly, when you are trying to overtake someone on a dual carriageway, A90 to Aberdeen particularly, the car you are trying to overtake speeds up so that you have to accelerate more and exceed the legal limit, in order to make the pass but as soon as you have passed them they slow down again.

And the ones who can’t maintain a steady speed.

My wife’s family all stay in Perth and Dundee, so we’re up and down fairly often. It’s crazy the number of times I’ve overtaken another vehicle as I’m doing 70, a few minutes later they go past me as I’m still doing 70, then a few minutes later I’m overtaking them again, still doing 70, repeat several times on the journey.

middle lane huggers.

On my way back from Liverpool on the M6 I am in the inside lane and there are lorries 150m ahead. I check mirrors and there is a Range Rover also about 150m behind, in the middle lane. I signal and move out and get blasts of headlights from the driver of the Range Rover. He comes up to my tail as I am beside the rear of the first lorry before he moves over to the outside (third) lane and holds his hand to the horn. WTF was wrong with him, there was plenty room and I was going just below 70mph.

Rant over.

Back to this time of the year when commuting on my motorbike in the dark and faced with oncoming cyclists with the brightest lights they can find flashing constantly.

What is it with these flashing lights, I don’t understand them, they blind me and I find it difficult to see properly after they’ve passed.

I’ve started flashing my lights back at them, probably doesn’t help much but will give them an idea of how ridiculous it is.

Most common one for me just now is the traffic lights where one of the vehicles ahead is turning right.
Lots of junctions in the country have been modified from 2 lane both way to one lane for safety reasons, which I’m all for, and most have had some modification which allows, even if not specifically marked, a space which if taken, allows the rest of the traffic to flow. Even the tightest ones if offside to offside turning is used can allow traffic to flow.
So why do so many nutters just sit with their right indicator on and not move forward?
I can’t answer the question coz my answer would probably get me banned!
I’ve seen myself sit thru 3 light sequences because they don’t move forward and it’s so frustrating!
It’s the most selfish/stupid/ bad driver thing I’m seeing umpteen times everyday in Edinburgh.
Grinds my gears lol

Cars turning left or right at a junction who block the road for those travelling straight on although there's still 5m room for them to move forward.

Can’t remember if I said this before or not but when cars drive so far up your arse they can’t see you indicating when you pull over to park.

[J-C]

People who pull up at lights behind the car on the right( who's indicating ) and when the lights change they realise they're in the wrong lane and then attempt to pull into the left lane because they finally see the car in front has it's right indicator on, useless gets.

[Scouse Hibee]

People who are waiting to pull out at a junction turning left or right but.not Iactually looking or paying attention both ways. As you approach you slow down giving them plenty of time to pull out, they don’t move, you give them a flash of your lights, they don’t move, you then give up and you pass them see that they aren’t even paying attention.

People sat at lights in the right lane who only put their indicator on to turn right after a car wanting to drive straight on has pulled up behind them.

Yesterday I was the one wanting to turn right at a T junction, car from the left was indicating to turn right into the road I was exiting from but left room for me to go first, car from the right indicating to park in a space just past the car on the left. It was like a Mexican standoff, who moves first.

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.

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.

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 [emoji23]) 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 [emoji23].

Normally I would have happily waited in the queue but just couldn’t resist on this occasion. [emoji83]

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.

I'm not a driver but was getting a lift just after Xmas from Aberdeen to Montrose and the low sun on the new Aberdeen bypass was brutal. There was a Roundabout that you straight up couldn't see from afar in the glare and as the road was relatively new a massive truck and car just hadn't seen it until it was too late and were "beached" in the middle of the roundabout.

Not sure about cyclists KNOWING they're upsetting folk, but there is an argument that it is safer for a motorist to pass two cyclists abreast rather than nose to tail.
Cycling 2 abreast also makes motorists think twice about squeezing through where there is insufficient space.

At the end of York place heading towards Leith at the lights at the top of Broughton St, I'm in the left lane heading for Leith, old guy in a big car is in the right hand lane and the lights change, he then decides without indicators to cut me up and go into the left lane for Leith, again a loud honk on the horn and I get abuse and the finger for doing nothing except stay in my own lane. He then changes back to the outside lane at Guilliano's and goes along London Rd, another ******g eejit.

I use a tablet as sat nav and in addition I've added a dash cam app, it was free so why not?

I loaded it after I was stopped by the police who said I'd gone through a red light. I was convinced I hadn't. I didn't get charged but the footage would have removed any debate.

There's also a case outstanding with the police where another driver has made a complaint against me. I can't wait to show them the footage and that it was the other driver that was acting like a total prick. I'll be cleared, he'll get the minimum of a severe ticking off!

There's also been a couple of instances where another driver has jumped out their vehicles waving a mobile phone saying they're photographing me! When I reply they're already on video they've become somewhat sheepish and run away!

Got a nextbase dash cam hardwired the other day, had a accident last month when someone hit me on the m8, luckily had an independent witness driving behind who pulled over and backed up my version of events, might not be so lucky the next time so getting one was a no brainer, the good thing about nextbase as it has WiFi and you can upload footage to your phone straight away, I reckon if a lot more people had them, people might think twice about pulling of dangerous manoeuvres.

Oh man, can’t stand when a******* do that!

Happened to me at Leith Links, the sign clearly stated that I had right of way of ahead of the oncoming vehicle. Clearly the driver on the opposite end either failed to acknowledge it or just wanted to be a smart arse and decided to accelerate faster so he could make it over before I did. I give him a huge honk on the horn and a few deservedly verbals as I had my little one in the car and it could easily have been a full on collision if I never slowed down which he should have done as I had the right of way first to advance. The prick, rolls his window down and starts calling me a p*** and telling me to f*** off back to my own country. Funnily enough, I was actually born in this country! 😂

Folk that drive over the new forth bridge at 40mph...wtf???

Dickheads. :agree:

[lapsedhibee]

Folk that drive over the new forth bridge at 40mph...wtf???

Scottish Government's fault. When it opened it was hyped up to the extent that people from all over Britain, and probably beyond, travelled to enjoy the "once in a lifetime experience" of walking across it. I don't drive at 40 but every time I cross it I do take foot off accelerator a wee bit, look around me, and wonder what the heckingbottom all the fuss was about, as it's basically a **** bridge from which you can't even properly see the other two, excellent, bridges.

[Future17]

Folk that drive over the new forth bridge at 40mph...wtf???

Think it's a hangover from it being 40mph when it opened, combined with the lack of 70mph signage.

Driving through Holyrood park the other night on my way to work at around 22:20, admittedly I was doing 30 in a 20 but a private hire people carrier type cab drove right up behind me, started flashing his lights at me then overtook me before the roundabout where you turn right to head past the Parliament building or straight ahead to Dynamic earth etc. He must have been doing 50 and this clown had a fare in the back, I passed him again on Calton rd at the corner of New St where his fare was getting out. Quite ridiculous driving. Had the dash cam footage but have since deleted it unfortunately.

[Future17]

I noticed for the first time the other day that I have both a mental and physical reaction when I'm driving and see black cabs or private hires on the road.

I've witnessed so many incidents of dangerous/ridiculous driving from some of the drivers of these vehicles over the past two years that I'm extra wary around all of them now.

The most recent was sitting at a red light at crossroads and having a private hire pull out from being parked behind me on the opposite side of the road to try and get in front of me as the lights changed. He wasn't quick enough though so, when I realised and braked, we ended up side by side with him nose to nose with the car coming from the opposite direction.

He looked at me as though I was the problem and I had to drive a big arc to the left to make space for him.

I can't help but think these guys actually spend too much time on the roads so lose the perspective of what is dangerous for themselves, their passengers and other drivers.

Ordered my first Uber in Scotland last weekend. Travelling from my brothers to my place last Sunday morning at around 1:30 am. Price was great, £12 from South Queensferry to Broxburn. I'd be reluctant to do the same again, the driver got a couple of taps from myself as he nearly nodded of twice.

in my experience, a lot (but definitely not all, or even most) of “professional drivers”, such as drivers of buses, taxis, lorries, etc, are some of the rudest and worst drivers on the roads. No indicators used, lack of lane discipline, dangerous manoeuvres, and usually the first to give out the dirty looks or hand gestures or verbals.

Video of a PHC last night taken by taxi driver being done by the traffic cops, he's going down Victoria St obviously the wrong way, this is not an isolated incident. It's what happens when you allow the market to be flooded by foreign drivers who haven't a clue what they're doing. In saying that there are still a good few cabbies out there who need to get their act together, we can't complain if some in the trade are just as bad.

Is that a 10 hour log on or driving time?
i used to have a meter that gave a breakdown of time on, paid time, unpaid time, average earned, etc. I could be out for 30 hours and not exceed 10 hours paid driving time.

So basically you could be out working doing a 20 hr shift and still be ok to drive even though you've only done 10 hrs driving, good luck getting into one of those cars.

I see what you're saying but most black cabs are double shifted by 2 drivers, day and night, even then when I had my own cab I never worked more than around 60hrs per week, pretty normal for a self employed person. Saying that some junior doctors are doing silly hours in hospitals putting people at risk due to tiredness. There's a video online somewhere where the guy is in an Uber car and the driver keeps nodding off every time he stops at a set of lights, the passenger goes nuts when he starts weaving all over the road due to nearly sleeping at wheel.

[heretoday]

Driving from Newington to Drum Brae tonight through The Meadows, I was concerned to see how many cyclists are riding with no helmet, no bright clothing and only minimal lights on their vehicle.

The streets are so badly lit nowadays that such behaviour is tantamount to suicidal.

I'm sure if I had remonstrated with any of them I'd get the usual What's Your Problem, Pal? and yet they are the ones who'll end up worse off if there's an accident.

Cyclists on the public highway should have to wear reflective jackets and helmets. End of story.

Being stuck behind a tractor for miles and they don’t pull in to let the queuing traffic behind them overtake when it is safe to do so.

I’ve been up in Fraserburgh and Peterhead a lot with work recently and it happens all the time on the road between there and Aberdeen. It would cost the boy in the tractor about 20 seconds of his day to let us passed but by not doing so it firstly, really pisses me off, probably more seriously though causes some crazy and dangerous over taking to be done.

I drive tractors on the roads frequently and do pull over to let people pass. However if it's a busy evening rush or something I can say be stuck in a lay-by for over five minutes, that is no exaggeration.

Chances are the tractor will be pulling into a field or farm within a few miles, just chill or overtake when safe. It's not the tractor drivers fault someone overtakes them dangerously.

I saw a report in the news that bus journeys are in decline and people favouring cars and trains. Can you really blame us though? Buses are clunky, expensive, slow and generally unpleasant. I had the pleasure of following one from the start of Ferry Road to the end this morning and the only way I could describe it as torture. I don't think we ever saw the speed limit.

It's murder getting stuck behind buses in a 20mph zone.

[speedy_gonzales]

It's murder getting stuck behind buses in a 20mph zone.

Is that because the other vehicles behind them also have to drive @ 20?
I'm sure I've mentioned it before here, but I have the fortune/misfortune to drive a commercial vehicle with tracker/speed limiter. If I do 10% over the limit I get a warning/disciplined. I sometimes feel sorry for those stuck behind me, at night they just overtake, not always possible in 20 zones when it's busy/during the day.

I semi-regularly get the bus back to Glenrothes and every time I do I last about 5 minutes before I swear to take the train next time. :greengrin

It's usually a coach (52 seats?) with about a dozen at most on board too - so I can't see it lasting much longer.

The intra-city Lothian buses tend to be good for what they are though. I try to favour walking ragrdless unless the weather is bad.

Surely they'd have to prove that the speedo/tracker etc is all working correctly, calibration tests etc?

They do and they have. Kit is calibrated and backed up with GPS tech.
There were loads of complaints on roll-out and our union (RMT) raised very legitimate concerns over abuse from managers.
We've had colleagues sacked over repeated speeding offences where there was no Police involvement, also had a colleague disciplined for being in a head on accident whereby he was speeding prior but not the cause of the accident.

Were any of these men reinstated after appeal? Big brother stuff that, much like CCTV on trains being used for discipline.

The one guy I know sacked in Wales appealed and was reinstated but I think he has since been dismissed again.
We might live in Big Brother times but there's no excuse for an individual to repeatedly get caught speeding whilst being warned numerous times (if what I hear is true).

I saw a sticker on the back of a van the other day which said "speed limited to 68mph". I assume that's to do with tracking, as you've mentioned, rather than a physical inability for that van to be driven at more than 68mph? The latter doesn't seem like a safe option.

I used a van at an old job and it was physically limited to 70 - they work the same way as a limiter in performance cars that stop the car going beyond 155mph

As Jones28 above says, it's a physical limiter. I'm not a mechanic but would guess it monitors the digital speedo (gone are the days of disconnecting a speedo cable to save miles on your clock) and cuts fuel at a pre designated limit.
My current van is limited to a true 70 but my previous was 68, it never felt unsafe to me and can't figure out how it would be?

Saw a guy in a white Audit TT park in a disabled bay at Tesco last night, hopped out his car and into the store - no blue badge on display.

Does my tits in. ASDA at Newhaven late at night is apparently a hotspot for people with disabilities judging by the amount of people in they spaces compared to the amount in the standard spaces..

I saw a woman with no blue badge park in the last available disabled bay (and also the furthest from the shop) while the non-disabled bays right beside it lay empty. No badge on display and when a guy questioned her she just went on an x rated rant about how she’ll park wherever the **** she wants and said something along the lines of “it’s no like a disabled person is going to be here at this time” :confused:

Last year a guy parked his car in Castle St on the disabled space behind the taxi rank, some nights the wardens come round in their wee white van to check and gave him a ticket for parking there, I spoke with the wardens and they said disabled spaces are 24hr spaces. The guy came back and moaned about getting a ticket, I said to him that being disabled is a lifetime condition not just until 6.30pm like other parking spaces, he didn't get the humour and went away in a right mood.

This does my head in.

I can't remember if I've mentioned this before but at the bottom of my street is a cross road (the one at Comely Bank beside Waitrose). For whatever reason peoples ability to drive goes out the window and folk seem to think it's a case of whoever was there first gets to go and nothing to do with what direction you're going. The amount of times I've nearly been hit by people turning right when I'm either going left or straight on is astonishing. Literally about 1/3rd of the time I come to that junction it happens and it only doesn't materialise because I know to watch out for it.

**Mistaken, dangerous & aggressive drivers**

As above, drivers that have no clue then drive dangerously then become aggressive!

I was leaving Hermiston Gait last night, heading towards A71 so drive up the filtered lane that bypasses the light controlled roundabout. Going up the hill an articulated truck, coming from the M8 direction, sped up and pulled in behind me, crossing the solid white line and came within 1 metre (genuinely) of my car as I was doing around 40mph.
Driver started to flash his lights, I ignored and got up to near 50 before I had to stop at the Calder roundabout.
The driver gets out the truck and starts getting verbal and I very nearly got out but the lights were starting to change and I just wanted to get on.
Turns out, the driver was Dutch, delivering for Gist, he wasn't aware I was in a filtered lane, he thought I'd came up a hard shoulder,,,, that never did explain why he threatened my life with his artic!?!

Had an incident with an angry UPS driver steaming out of the industrial estate onto the same road but into Edinbugh. He wasn't for giving way then assumed I knew the same signal for coming on meant he was also coming into the lane I'd had to swerve into and I was still in his way. While no altercation ensued I assumed this was only because he's timed on deliveries.
