If you keep both your hands on the wheel and didn't talk so much you might be a better driver. The van in front misjudged his exit which is very easy on the motorways in Glasgow.
So how does a disabled person with only one arm keep both hands on the steering wheel then ?. Yet they are still perfectly legal to drive an automatic veichle with just one arm. I'd maybe think before you blurt next time, as you just make a cunt of your self otherwise on here. Cheers for stopping by tho yeah !.
Don't talk shite. The Bed Factory is in Lambhill, so he's probably well versed on which way to go on the M8. I stay well outside Glasgow, and I don't do much driving on the M8 now, and most divers know that the lane he was on will take you onto the M74 or turn down into Kingston or Kinning Park. Also, the huge gantry signs tell you which way. He was probably just being the same as you......an arsehole.
Seems you anticipated it just fine 🤭 You didn't hit him so that's a start. Or even beep at him which I'm actually the most impressed by to be honest. 😁👍
That junction is renowned for that sort of driving. They come off the slip road and leave it to the last minute to cut right across to the M8. Stupid road layout.
@@ciderant M73 south trying to join the M74 south while M8 traffic joining the M74 south trying to get over to the M73 south is one of the craziest parts of the motorway network.
@@Superman-nn4nwthe van was indicating the entire time and none of the drivers around him had the brains to anticipate what needed to happen. The white car in the right hand lane could have held back to let him cut across instead they sat at the edge of his blind spot before making a late decision to overtake at the worst possible time forcing the van to stop.
Wow wow wow.... stop the bus!!

He wasn't 'undertaking.' You are legally allowed to maintain your speed in your lane. If other vehicles are start moving at a slower speed you are perfectly entitled to drive in your lane without having to hold back as long as you are not breaking the speed limit. I bet you're one of those drivers who would have panicked and jumped on the brakes causing a pile-up.
Thanks for taking the time to send your gracious reply. Unfortunately you Mis-Read the comment! To undertake also means to comit to a task. the rest isn't even worth my energy replying to... have a good day son
@@jockforster Son? That makes you at least 90 years old. Maybe if you didn't type messages like a toddler, full of daft cartoons, and concentrated on clear communication you wouldn't encounter such problems. By the way, congratulations on the passive aggressive 'men multi-tasking' comment. Very original of you.
Van driver is oblivious, the white CRV was letting it over but when the van didn't take initiative the CRV went past the van. The van then slammed on instead of spending 10 minutes looping around. Tldr, Mr. Bed Factory has shat the bed
I rear ended a car at a set of traffic lights yesterday, When the driver got out, I noticed that he was a dwarf! He steamed up to my car and said, “I am not happy!” So I said, “Well, which one are you then?” lolololz
Van driver didn't have much chance of having to get across - some parts of that M8 through Glasgow itself has some weird and sudden slip roads that a sat nav can't keep up with sometimes, so as you said at the end shoudn't have been so hard on him lol
It's normally a 2 second rule, but these days every bugger cuts in on you and jumps straight into the gap in front of you as soon as you create one. So sadly it's just a case of every man for him self these days pal.
Didn't see a brake check. Bit close to the van in front of you at the start of the video in my opinion but I understand if you leave the correct gap someone else will just take it.
not your fault..that is a bit of a sh*t junction and further up where the m77 joins the m74..its too short a stretch to go onto the m8 or the 1st junction from the m74
The slip road the van came from is difficult at the best of times to cut right over to continue on the M8, otherwise it would have had to continue on the M74
Slip roads and roads dividing always provide a caution to employ a heightened awareness and make you put your ukulele down whilst you're forced to concentrate harder.
STAY WELL CLEAR, lol. Unless you want to be kept out every Friday night. If you get on a Jenkies sheet tho you maybe ok. Chances are you will be put on Dents sheet tho, just as I was. Money is good, but they don't want to let you go home Friday nights. And your ran ragged all week. Shame really as I LOVED the job, but I won't have the pish taken out of me. I'm to old, and long in the tooth for that shite these days !.
Oh and the maintenance standards on units and trailers is disgraceful. Nothing gets fixed if you have any issues, it just gets botched BADLY . How some of those trailers pass inspections and MOT is beyond me. Most of them need scrapped !.@StuartTwigg
@ChattingWithMeHGV Thanks Barry, left Jenkies cause I had a couple of issues with them. But like you enjoyed the majority of the work. Thought Dents would be ok, but I appreciate your honesty on them. I am looking for a change with the firm I currently work for due to Saturday run-ins.
Quite considerate driving for an M8 van driver including optional use of the flashing orange light thing to be fair and possibly an Edinburgh driver who bottled it at the thought of a Glasgow Kiss
Not an intentional brake check but a brake check all the same. Van drivers in Scotland think they own the fast lane. They don’t understand the concept of it being an OVERTAKING lane.
@@ronniemacdonald2768 I know that. I was just making a point about van drivers in general. A high proportion of them are selfish and shouldn’t have a driving license. Lane hogging is their thing.
I actually had to brake check some daft bint on the M8 not long ago. She was up everyone’s arse,including mine. We were all doing a hefty speed as it was but she was inches away from me,I let her pass then she was right up the arse of an S4,who also brake checked her a few times and so she continued She was only driving an old fiesta but seemed to be trying to make a point 🙄
Why not just ease off the gas? Brake checks are dangerous and cause a density wave that further back could cause traffic to stop completely. Ease off the gas and you are still achieving your objectives but in a less harmful way.

When you went to Dents, were they Jenkies planners. I've been at Jenkies thinking about trying Dents.

i thought it was the car coming in first
Not the M8 it's the M77 northbound and he wasn't checking you mate he was trying for a gap to move over to what will be the M8 east.
Aye I know exactly what happend mate, as I was there..... What can I say tho, lol WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CLICKBAIT !
Quite considerate driving for an M8 van driver including optional use of the flashing orange light thing to be fair and possibly an Edinburgh driver who bottled it at the thought of a Glasgow Kiss
😂😂😂
He could have caused an accident Barry lad, good job you were watching him
That bit of M8 is a nightmare, I hate the M8

Not just in scotland m8 ok
Eh, nothing to do with the fast/overtaking lane, he was trying to get across to a different branch-off of the motorway.

@@iainadie Unfortunately as I only drive in Scotland I’m unable to comment on van drivers elsewhere.
Your radio show reminds me of Mark and Lard…
They we're my heroes back in the day !
That particular entry slip onto the 73 slip then move over to the m8 is a bit of a bugger. Its only easy if ye know how.
Never heard of the song but coincidentally my mother released me in 1956 also 😂
😂😂😂😂
Van driver not the best but you're the professional driver and as such should be able to anticipate and deal with others minor discretions.

My 'ol man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's cap,(or is it hat?) he wears gorblimey trousers and lives in a council flat! etc!
Hate that section of the M8 🫣
Large new influx of drivers in Glasgow that don’t no how to use roads esp motorways/ roundabouts , it’s that brutal I’ve just got a dash cam
If this country had to renew their licences every 3 to 5 years retests like some countries do i bet the roads would be clear lol
