Elderly driver goes wrong way at roundabout then down no entry road!

Weve come across this footage that shows the moment an elderly man drove the wrong way around a busy roundabout – and then down a ‘no entry’ slip road.

the manoeuvre on Sunday morning was caught by Mr Johnston from West Lothian as he travelled along the A89.

As Mr Johnston approaches the roundabout opposite Kaim Park (A89 Edinburgh road towards Bathgate), a white Hyundai i20 hatchback can be seen driving anti-clockwise around a roundabout. Instead of stopping, the driver continues to weave in and out of vehicles causing the drivers to slam on the brakes in shock.

Then rather than trying to exit the roundabout safely, he drives down a ‘no entry’ slip road towards more oncoming vehicles.



The 30-second clip was shared by Scotland’s Worst Drivers, a website which shames bad driving north of the border.

James aid: “The elderly driver either got confused or just wasn’t paying attention, and drove the wrong way on the roundabout into traffic.

“He then proceeded through a ‘no entry’, driving into more oncoming traffic. I have no idea what the guy was thinking…I was gobsmacked.”

A spokesman for Scotland’s Worst Drivers said: “The fact this driver never attempted to correct his mistake, and then drove down a closed road, rings alarm bells to me.

“I find it concerning that he appears unaware of what he is doing and carries on as all is normal.

“This again raises the need to introduce compulsory retesting for elderly drivers.”

Despite dozens of other cars on the road at the time of the incident, it appears that no-one was injured as a result of the driver’s actions.
