Just to further the car sharing thing. The original guidance we had from work (NHS) was that we could car share where possible, that was over a month ago though.

When you are approaching a side road and a car zooms up to the give way line with the driver looking away from you, then brakes really hard when they finally look towards you and glares at you because they’ve had to slow down or stop.

Is it just me or are most drivers totally ignoring zebra crossings since lockdown?
I live just off McDonald Road so I cross the zebra crossing just at the Co-op most days. It seems to be the exception that cars stop these days. One even peeped me mid cross today.

People undertaking.
I was driving through Corstorphine on Tuesday, just before 8 - so the bus lanes were on. As a result I was in the outside lane doing 20 miles an hour.
As we moved into the 30 mph area, I started speeding up, and a van and a car went into the bus lane and went past me.
Of course the traffic lights not too far ahead went red and I caught them up quite quickly. But I just didn't understand it,

At the bottom of Clermiston Road on the corner near specialised signs there are a set of traffic lights, when the green arrow light appears but the top red light is still there it means you can go straight ahead but not turn left as the pedestrians have a green man and right to cross clermiston road. People beep their horn when you
don’t go and turn left as people go ahead on the green light, can they not understand traffic lights!

Coming home from work yesterday. I'm about 5 miles from home and the road is mostly 60 limit dripping down to 40 for a bit, back to 60 and then in town to 30. I get stuck behind a taxi doing 40 all through the 60 limit. I sit behind him at a reasonable distance and he continues at 40 in the 40 zone. Back to 60 zone and still doing 40. We than get into the 30 zone and he actually speeds up to 45. What the **** is that all about!!

The speeds being driven by some drivers on the bypass yesterday. This is definitely something which has got worse since lockdown started. The stretch from Sheriffhall to Old Craighall is particularly bad for some reason.

The worst area I encounter regularly is when you exit Sherrifhall onto the A6106. The limit goes 60 to 40 to 30 back to 60 then finally down to 30 again at The Wisp. The number of times I get stuck behind someone who sits at 40 for the entire stretch outnumber people who actually vary their speed by about 3 to 1.
Another one is Harry Lauder Road. Limit is 40 and you get stuck behind someone doing just under 30 who then slams the brakes when they see the speed camera. WTF?PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Undertaken twice today coming back on the Glasgow road towards Corstorphine. I was doing 40. Mental out there at times now.

As you approach a set of red lights in the inside lane which is empty, the traffic in the outside lane is static, the lights change as you are approaching them in second gear so your rolling start gets you through them first. The drivers that see this as a challenge to their superiority and accelerate aggressively to get in front of you is hilarious. Even better when you then see an obstruction ahead so you indicate and move into outside lane as you go, this infuriates them more and some then attempt to undertake you further on 😂

on a similar note, and more amusing than a peeve, I see/experience this Frequently when visiting the in-laws in Perth.
join the motorway, settle in at about 70, overtake a car doing about 60 (as often as not, it’s a souped golf or civic, sometimes a big German car ), seconds later they come racing by because their ego can’t take getting overtaken by anyone, then a few miles down the road, still doing a consistent 70, overtake the same car as they’re back doing less speed as they don’t have any idea of how to just sit at a steady speed. They then repeat their aggressive overtaking. Repeat 3-5 times on the journey.

I live 10 miles from my work and, for a while, it was mostly dual carriageway (I've since moved, but still roughly the same distance).
At the time I had a 17/18 year old Twingo and a lot of people in German saloons just couldn't handle me overtaking them, even if they were under the speed limit. Cue 4-5 leap-fogging sessions every week.
When the Twingo was about to die on me. I bought a fairly new and shiny Corolla Verso. While it's a great car, it's nothing that special either - however I noticed straight away that the leap froggers don't have the same issue as with the Twingo.
In general I now overtake once and that's it.
Very strange behaviour.

I’m going to have a bitch about traffic lights. Why are some on a sensor during quieter times and others aren’t? For example, the lights on constitution street and queen Charlotte street. They are usually on a sensor on evening and weekends, even now when there is practically no need for them at all with constitution street being closed, they’re usually on a sensor, so when you drive up to them, they nearly always change to green. Every now and then this isn’t the case, at the moment, they are set for the green man to be activated automatically as soon as it goes back to red. This means sitting waiting for no cars coming the other way and no pedestrians crossing every time you drive down that way. There’s other lights that seem to be like this all the time too, the ones at the junction of Stevenson road and Westfield road spring to mind. I drove past there every Saturday morning Pre lockdown at 7.30am, and would have to wait what felt like about 5 minutes to get through when I was often the only person on the road, most other lights at that time are on a sensor.

The idea is to give pedestrians a priority, but if there nobody there to press the button,,,, do they need priority?
