Driving Pet Peeves

Sat in stationary traffic westbound on M8 for 20 minutes this afternoon. Eventually passed incident which was on eastbound carriageway. Was it just rubberneckers or did they close whole road?

I believe they did close the road in both directions at one point, however it really boils my piss with how much traffic gets snarled up by folk wanting to gawk at some kind of accident and possible tragedy on the other side of the road!

More annoying that they don't use those great big signs to convey any sort of warning message about hold ups. My seat belt was on and my tyres were properly inflated but thanks for the reminder.

Paying £30 for being in a bus lane, didn’t even no they had put new cameras up at Stenhouse Drive.

As an outsider, I'm astonished how many people don't drive in the bus lane when permitted to use them. Admittedly, I'm usually only on Queensferry Road into town but the bit around blackhall to craigleith is always a good example of everyone driving in the outside lane when the bus lane is available.

When I had a company car I would use the bus lanes when appropriate.

Now that I own my car I don't : pot holes caused by buses. Pure and simple.

Its unbelievable at times. Couple of weeks ago at 2pm on the main St Johns/Corstorphine Road cars were queued at crawling pace in the right hand lane all the way from Balgreen Road up to just before the Subway/Eastern Pavilion etc. Yet the greenway was completely free all the way up - which was fantastic for me as I was able to just drive right up the inside.

Its like people think their car is going to explode if they go in the greenway.

I got caught in that one a few weeks ago, too
You have to get into the left hand lane to go ahead at the lights. Must have gone in a bit early

Yip, the two photos they showed me were my car in the right lane and because I’m going straight over at lights I must have went in to bus lane for a few yards so I didn’t get stuck behind traffic in right lane, they must be catching loads of folks doing it, did think about appealing but to much hassle, what annoys me most is these cameras are being put in housing schemes, but none on Glasgow road where folk from the Maybury to the roundabout at McDonald’s can cruise along the bus lane during peak times and not get caught and seen plenty crashes there where folk in outside lane indicating to turn left have had bumps with cars in bus lane, maybe don’t want hinder tourists coming along that road though.

Moan over for the day, away to enjoy the Sun.
