Very poor driving in bad weather
I saw a white Focus coming off the slip road at Pollokshileds onto the M77 today and cutting across 2 lans of traffic in my mirror. I then saw them dart back in behind a van (which was doing the correct speed limit), and then overtake him on the inside lane, then cut him up.

You should have reported 'em.
