WATCH: Lothian Bus driver shows impressive skills after near-miss in the snow

AS Scotland experiences extreme weather conditions, one bus driver had to keep their wits about them to narrowly-avoid a collision.

A car is seen turning and stopping while diagonally across the side of the road as a Lothian Bus approaches.

The bus driver manages to smoothly manoeuvre the bus and pass the car without incident.

The woman behind-the-wheel has been revealed to be Charmaine Laurie, who has been working for the company for three years.

The mum-of-two told the Edinburgh Evening News: “It happened quite quickly. It’s hard to describe – my heart was in my mouth.”

“I actually thought I was going to hit her.

She added: “I touched the brake and as soon as I did the back end slid out so I took my foot off and just guided it through the space that was there.”

The near-miss happened on February 28th as the central belt of Scotland was given its first ever Red weather warning.
