Terrifying moment daredevil in cape clings to side of car on major Scots road

This is the terrifying moment a cape-clad daredevil stands outside a car as it was 'driving along a major Scots road'.

The man was caught on camera performing the hair-raising stunt on the A90 northbound in the north-east earlier this evening.

Pictures show the man hanging from the side of the bullet grey Ford on the dual carriageway.

With rural scenes in the background, it is unclear exactly where the car was spotted or the speed.

A post on popular local Facebook page Fubar News blasted the man and the driver as 'complete idiots' and said it was travelling 'very fast'.

The post read: "Complete idiots, he could have been killed if he fell off.

"Young man hanging out of back window of car whilst driver speeds up very fast with superman cape on minutes ago on A90 heading north."

Most locals were against the stunt online, saying lives were being put at risk.

Leah Hampson wrote: "The NHS is on its a**e dealing with the backlog of patients waiting to be seen due to the pandemic, and still dealing with covid positive patients, and here’s the hero we all need, but don’t deserve..."

Nancy Duncan wrote: "Hope the police pay a visit to him, he could not only have killed himself but other people were also put in risk of harm."

The A90 is one of Scotland's most dangerous roads for drivers, with 59 collisions in which someone was injured or killed between January 2017 and summer 2019.

Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
