Coming onto it from Fife there’s nothing to suggest you’re going onto a motorway and the only visible speed signs are usually the ones for the Forth Bridge which often say 30). People then dawdle up the ramp to join the motorway at about 20mph. On the other side of the water, the sign to show that you’re going from a 50 to a 70 is almost invisible, being some backlit thing out of your line of sight. If you join from Queensferry, again there’s nothing to show you’re in anything other than a 40. As a result, you get big bottlenecks as people join the motorway at low speeds. Most weekends there are holdups and I’m guessing much of it is drivers who don’t make the trip as a daily commute. The signs that say m90 should be a bit of a giveaway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s one wee sign that says Edinburgh M90 on the edge of the ramp at North Q/inverkeithing but no speed limit signs except the speed signs on the left of the ramp which are for the old bridge but could just as easily be read as being for the crossing slip road. The big bottlenecks show something is up with the speed of the traffic merging at times. A few extra signs wouldn’t go amiss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Special mention to the wee tube who leaned out of the passenger window of his pal's van after we'd waved them past us to scream "get off the road you bike fucks" seconds before a wee low hanging branch whipped him across the puss at about 45mph [emoji23] 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Used to go to the gym in Stirling and when using the treadmills at the window you could see all the folk parking ASCLOSEASPOSSIBLE to the front door so they didn't have to walk a few extra yards to get some exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Drove home from Cumbria in torrential rain on Sunday, and between Moffat and Biggar, the amount of idiots overtaking in dangerous conditions was unreal. On one occasion some fuckwit overtook me at around 60mph, (I was doing 50, as the roads were slippy as f**k, and a lot of bends on that road), he didn't realise there was a bad bend, despite a warning sign further back) and had to pull in at the last second, causing me to brake suddenly. I cannot understand fuckwits like that , that cannot drive to the conditions. Edited July 6, 2021 by philpy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most drivers are completely oblivious to the driving conditions and the traffic conditions (which is maybe the same thing). The amount of people who overtake approaching a bend and then have to slam on their anchors is amazing. Northern Ireland is so wee, and particularly the further west you go there are no motorways and very few by passes so you're driving through towns and villages at 30/40 mph, that speeding doesn't really gain you very much time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Pulled out of a side road onto a single carriageway road with no traffic either way, and naturally started to pick up speed to get to 60. Out of nowhere a young guy in a Ford Fiesta appears behind me and must’ve been absolutely hammering it so veers onto the other side of the road to overtake, but as I’m accelerating to get to speed he starts to struggle and a car appears coming the other way and he has to slam on the brakes and tuck in behind me before he causes a pileup. All happened incredibly quickly because of the speed he must’ve been going, but my heart was in my mouth so can’t imagine what he was feeling like. Maniac. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I hate to be that guy, but if you were trying to reach 60 and he struggled to get past you as you gained speed, suggests he was doing no more than 60? Or was it a case of he'd slowed down lost momentum and then tried the overtake? Just curious as I absolutely detest c***s that deliberately speed up when being overtaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Doing 70 on the way to Broxden last night, in the overtaking lane, when a boy with a boat behind his car swung out from the empty left hand lane into the overtaking lane with just one flash of his indicator. Literally had no choice but to undertake him as there was next to no chance I could stop in time. Why did he do this? He was turning right at Broxden roundabout, which was still about 5 miles away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Ive begun to notice this recently and it’s confirmed following a wee tour in the glorious north west Highlands but there are people who drive down the middle of the road. Not a single track road but a 2 lane road. When someone approaches the other way they pull in to the correct lane only to straddle the white line again when they pass. They approach bends and blind summits whilst straddling the line. It’s utter madness and does my fucking nut in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
