Hiya,
I'm not normally one to whinge about bad driving, as, as often as not I suspect most are bad judgement calls we all might make on a bad day etc.. "there but for the grace of God" and all that.
.. but, today I'm still fizzing about an incident last night.

Goggle maps, sets the scene. I was heading home coming along the lochend road, heading towards Kirkliston and as I cross the single lane bridge over the river I was in the primary position when a tw*t in a VW Passat comes up behind me revving his engine, once we clear the bridge, I maintain my strong primary position (after all in 100 yards I'm turning right) and I'm doing about 20mph, so he tries a wide overtake and finds himself completely on the wrong side of the road at the give way lines for New Liston Road!!
After the turn you'll notice the red markings at the start of the 30mph zone for Kirkliston, he set off the flashing 30mph sign there too.
He was a complete idiot I reckon.
Anyway, that's it off my chest to a, hopefully, sympathetic audience.
