VO65VZS - Perfect Driving

'5th April 2019, 19:00, Bruntsfield Place / Morningside Road, Edinburgh

I know I don't often post good driving videos - that's mostly because it's rare that I notice driving so good that it merits mentioning. This is absolutely faultless driving, however, and the driver is very aware of not just their surroundings but also mine, and I feel it deserves to be recognised.

I noticed the driver not overtaking at the pedestrian crossing at the start of the video, because they can see that the cycle lane ends and that there are cars parked and I'll need to move out to the middle of the lane. I can't remember the last time someone didn't stop alongside me at these lights, which is why I noticed it here.
I deliberately crawl up to the lights because I'm expecting the driver to overtake me and I expect to slot in behind them, but they don't.

I keep further left than I normally would (in the loading bay at 0:26 for example), because I expect them to overtake me, since there's a reasonable gap to the next vehicle - but they still stay back. I'm doing about 18 mph here, and they don't wan't to speed to get past me to the next vehicle.

They then give plenty of space as I cycle along Bruntsfield Place to Morningside Road (I top out at about 22 mph here on the corner), keeping a good 2 seconds gap, and not even stopping closely at the red lights.

I then lose them on Morningside Road because I get up to around 28 mph (speed limits only apply to motor vehicles, etc, etc), and they continue to follow the speed limit instead of blindly matching my speed as most drivers seem to do.

Top marks. I wish everyone would drive like this!'

Absolute maniac on the A500 Wolstanton, cuts people up in a big way, you flash to show your disgust & get brake checked several times, total NOB with no regard to other road users, then proceeds to exit by the next slip road from the outside lane, again endangering life, would even suggest drug abuse for this kind of behaviour, Dashcam footage will be forwarded to the police, this driver does not have rational behaviour

We now know that this car has a horn that works well and can overtake cars travelling at 30 mph in a built up area

Stinking attitude from a careless driver. Would have thought a taxi driver would actually know how to drive.

Awful driver, cutting people up in traffic and then sitting at the wheel looking like a petulant teenager. Tailgating even when people were slowing down because of traffic - you’re not gonna get anywhere faster because of the queues!

Awfully dangerous driver. He pulls out on me on a roundabout, forcing me to brake so hard, making the car behind me skid almost into the rear of my car. He did not even look or acknowledge my existence. This guy should not hold a driving licence.

Had to accelerate,overtake and then cut in on a road where two lanes merge. Must have saved all of 10 seconds on his journey. T####r
