Edinburgh motorcyclist captures driver's 'dangerous' move on busy road

A motorcyclist has shared a TikTok that shows a 'dangerous driver' undertaking on one of the busiest commuter roads in the capital.

The video, which they shared yesterday, has had over 14,000 views and shows a white car undertaking on Queensferry Road at Barnton.

In the footage, a red car is seen in the outside lane as the motorbike rider looks ahead in the inside lane.

But seemingly out of nowhere the white car follows up the rear of the red car and undertakes it on the inside lane.

The manoeuvre looks to have angered the biker as they can be seen gesturing with their hands after the move was made.

Thomasmiller719, posted the video on TikTok, and although some in the comments section questioned the speed of the red car in the outside lane, Thomas hit back by saying: “Understandable (that people are complaining about the red car’s speed) but he’s doing 40 same speed as myself, it’s just dangerous he’s going at least 50, maybe more.”

Queensferry Road is an extremely busy route that is used by residents in north Edinburgh to access the city centre or the popular retail park at Craigleith.

It is also used by those coming from Fife and trying to access the capital.

The TikTok video can be viewed in full here.
