Dangerous Driver in Edinborough

This image of a driver in a 52 plate Vauxhall Safira,
dangerously transporting a swing whilst speeding along the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass was taken on Thursday evening. The swing frame apparently loosely tied to just one side of the vehicle’s roof rack rail.


The image was posted by website Edinburgh’s Worst Drivers, which exposes dangerous motoring in and around the city. A spokesman for Edinburgh’s Worst Drivers said: “This driver clearly has no consideration for the safety of their self or others. The carnage could have been catastrophic had the frame detached from the vehicle.” They have sent the picture to Police Scotland.

Road safety campaigners said the frame could have been transformed into a deadly shower of metal spears had it become detached from the roof.

Other instances of dangerous driving on Edinburgh City Bypass in recent months include:

  • A driver reading a book at the wheel while speeding along the busy dual carriageway.
  • Lorry driver using his phone and smoking at the wheel on the road.
