The IAM probably fits his metier a bit more - in time he'll finally graduate to SafeSpeed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96290 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:43:54 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 96290@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aberdeen's drivers are mental.</p> <p>Apparently there's a link to a YouTube video of mine in the comments... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96280 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:06:27 +0000 Min 96280@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like the fact that the IAM motormouth is so quick to blame the trams!</p> <p>I agree about black cab drivers though. I think a lot of them are very good. Some are psychopaths who shouldn't even be entrusted with a television licence, never mind a driving licence and certainly never mind a cab licence but thankfully they are in a minority. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96279 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:03:03 +0000 Min 96279@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>First line!</p> <p><em>THE creator of a new website that shames badly-behaved Edinburgh motorists has claimed the Capital has the worst drivers in Britain.</em></p> <p>Personally I have not cycled everywhere in Britain but having cycled in a lot of places I can say that IMO Edinburgh has worse drivers than anywhere else I have been. On the other hand, I think it has more good drivers but they are sadly outnumbered. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96277 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:45:05 +0000 AKen 96277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To be fair to him, the taxi company representative does note that drivers should be mindful of cyclists at one point.</p> <p>However, I can't see the headline claim the Edinburgh has the worst drivers anywhere in the article. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96275 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:28:06 +0000 Nelly 96275@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Vic Reeves said 88.2% of statistics are made up on the spot.</p> <p>That rises to 100% in EEN stories </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96274 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:27:43 +0000 cb 96274@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>He* didn't really justify that claim; I doubt Edinburgg is much worse/better than any other similar sized city.</p> <p>I like the commentator who said of taxis:</p> <p>"I've no particular problem with taxi drivers, though. They often cut things fine, but they know what they are doing and have their mind on the job."</p> <p>That's OK then.</p> <p>*Was going to describe him (like the EEN did) as the 'website creator' but I don't think setting up a Facebook site counts. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9240#post-96265 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:43:49 +0000 Min 96265@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/claims-edinburgh-has-worst-drivers-in-britain-1-2726346">EEN Story</a></p> <p>Wonder if that is true and how you would actually measure it? </p>
