There are far too many instances of "I wouldn't have done that" to count these days, particularly if I'm heading south up Leith Walk past the end of London Road, but there was a fun moment a few weeks ago where a dingbat who was repeatedly skipping lights between Leith Walk and South Bridge (and casting no glances neither beside nor behind him at any point, including when wibbling blockingly up the middle of the Leith Street lane) claimed he was more safe doing what he was doing but had had to remove his earbuds to hear what I was muttering at him. I would have escaped him a lot sooner if I hadn't been on a VOI.

Road safety statistics up to 2025 also show a trend in dangerous driving for young people, particularly young men, being on the rise, with 77 people aged between 16 and 20 dying last year, compared with 65 the year before and 55 in 2016, the largest rise of any age group.

I watched I think eight members of the SRYT Massive this evening on Colinton bridge. They came in three groups, all in their safety balaclavas and Buffs, and demonstrating their mad wheelie skillz. They disappeared down the access road to the former Colinton station, whence they could have gone east or west.
Probably ought really to put SRYT shenanigans in the rubbish driving thread.
