The Highway Code

The harlequin Service 22 almost got away with it but the madder Service 22 behind - fleet number 341 -  has just created a fledgling log-jam.

The service 49 - fleet number 394 - in the middle of this image has completed the grid-lock.  The driver of the  First Bluebird service X38 single decker looks on in vain, unable to proceed through the green signal..

Nobody is going anywhere now!

Reverse angle replay - it's definitely a penalty against Lothian Buses!

What a stramash! (with apologies to the late Arthur Montford)

Yes, you, -you tube, 394! Your exit from the YELLOW BOX is not clear!

956 should be in the clear - but isn't.

Keiths can't get past the total plonker driving 341.

What happened next? How long did it take for a "vocational licence holder" to wake up and smell the diesel fumes?

Fortunately for the traffic backed up for hundreds of yards (that's wee metres to our European cousins) on Leith Street, Waterloo Place, North Bridge & Princes Street, the First Bluebird X38 driver moved forward 12 feet, Lothian 341 engaged Human Brain v1.0 and Keiths got on its way.

Hallelujah!

(This sequence of images covers a period of 4 minutes of inactivity by ANY vehicle, except buses turning West on to Princes Street from North Bridge who were enjoying a surprisingly free passage.)
