Dashcam footage from the peacekeeping driver caught the pair in front of him nearly ploughing into a group of pedestrians on Edinburgh’s Grove Street yesterday evening. Despite being in the wrong though, the bloke in the passenger seat – presumed to be the driver’s boyfriend – was quick to hop out and escalate the issue further.
However, the dashcam driver took him down a peg, reminding him and his girlfriend of who was in the wrong. The passenger was quick to jump out and confront the pedestrians The video shows the dashcam driver approaching the traffic lights on the junction right as they turn green for him and the traffic coming towards him. As the car opposite him – a blue Volkswagen UP – goes to turn the corner though, a group of pedestrians slowly meander across the junction.
This displeases the driver, who lets off a short, sharp honk of the horn as she continues to drive forward. Although unseen, a thud can then be heard which the filming driver later claimed was one of the pedestrians hitting the car, followed by another long, angry beep. As the dashcam driver follows them into the corner, the blue car is revealed to have already come to a stop, and a man has hopped out of the passenger seat.
Seemingly infuriated by the way the pedestrians acted, he advances towards them, eager to escalate things further. The female driver hops out too, shouting something unintelligible to the group as she gestures at her motor. The driver behind the camera is quick to hop in and offer his two cents though, shouting: “Mate, they have right of way for crossing.
You’re the one that’s in the wrong there by driving, they have right of way. “But you’re trying to drive them over, so what? You run them over because you’re in the wrong.” The bloke’s squabbling can be heard as he attempts to protest his girlfriend’s innocence, but the driver firmly shuts him down as she joins the fray.
He says to both of them: “Who cares mate, you almost killed him. Get back in the car and drive on.” The bloke appears to be reluctant to take the advice though, as the driver adds: “Are you going to hit him? Get back in the car and drive on.
“Go and fight the world, go and punch a wall. Go on with your day mate, you’re alright.” The bloke, clearly still hacked off, says something unintelligible and appears to be trying to provoke the man who is trying to reason with him.
He’s unsuccessful though and stalks back to the car, with his girlfriend shouting and pointing before getting back into the driver’s seat. The unbothered driver says: “No danger, alright you’re right, you win. Come on, let’s get back in the car, have a lovely day mate.
” The clip was shared to social media yesterday with the caption: “Little man syndrome.” It has since received 250 likes and more than 70 comments from social media users keen to share their thoughts. One wrote: “Tough to act a hard man when you’re hopping out your bird’s blue 14-plate Volkswagen UP in a pair of chinos, boat shoes and specs.
In your car lad.” A second said: “Not sure what that stick figure was trying to prove. If he tried that with the wrong person, he would have got snapped in half.
” Another commented: “It’s the p***k pedestrians who take the piss with this rule that causes friction. “Like walking into the street without looking and continuing to ignore any oncoming traffic because of this law.” A fourth wrote: “Set aside all the rules of this, that and the other.
“The fact the pair wasted considerably more time confronting the pedestrians than simply waiting and then driving on is the bizarre thing to me.” Another praised the filming driver: “Bro you smashed that. “Talked sense into him, made him realise he was being a numpty, without really insulting him too badly.
‘Let’s go back in your car and have a lovely day mate’ – so elegant.” Tags confront driver Edinburgh passenger pedestrians Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Linkedin Previous article The Little Car Company rebrands as Hedley Studios, cites step in evolution in luxury automotive art Next article Protestor at Middlesbrough riots made subject of ridicule after donning balaclava to try and hide identity – but not covering his giant tattoo Related Stories Edinburgh locals baffled as convertible Mini seemingly dumped in Union Canal August 9, 2024 Refurbishment plans submitted for Calton Square office building August 9, 2024 Graceful granny celebrates 70 years of performance August 6, 2024 “D**khead driver” receives instant karma after police pull him up just seconds after he flies towards pedestrian at insane speed on 20mph road August 2, 2024 News by Email Email Top Stories Business News Scottish News Top Sports News Sponsored post customers By continuing, you accept the privacy policy About Deadline News Suite 6, Bonnington Bond, 2 Anderson Place, Edinburgh EH6 5NP Tel: 0131 516 3433 Useful Links Agency Terms and Conditions Write for us – guest posting opportunities on Deadline News and more Sponsored Posts T&C News Coverage Photography Video Services Student placement programme Contact Us Change privacy settings Privacy settings history Revoke consents Social Facebook Linkedin Twitter Youtube.
