Hair-raising Edinburgh clip shows driver swerve after heading towards oncoming traffic

An 'crazy' Edinburgh driver was caught on camera careering along a busy, main road.

The grey Skoda was filmed as it headed along Maybury Road towards Barnton on Saturday afternoon, by TikTok by user @ahshanuddin8.

Acting strangely, the car was first seen driving up the wrong side of Maybury Road, with the two lanes separated by a small raised concrete barrier.

Passengers in a nearby car watch on in horror and can be heard gasping as the Skoda heads straight towards an oncoming car, van and taxi.

Only appearing to realise their mistake when the taxi flashed its lights, the car then swerves onto the concrete barrier and over to the correct side of the road to continue on their journey.

Driving slowly from there, the video continues to film the motor as it heads towards Barnton, where it then begins to sway between the two lanes on the dual carriageway.

A second potential crash narrowly avoided as the car sways in front of a large Timberbush tour bus heading down the left hand lane, before again swerving slowly back to the right.
