Dangerous drivers caught on camera causing chaos on Merseyside's roads in 2020

Many ‘idiot’ drivers have taken to our roads this year with plenty of incidents and near misses captured on camera.

The video above shows outrageous behaviour across Merseyside which could have resulted in serious injury.

The video compilation includes dodgy driving and a total disregard for others on the road.

The footage has been shared with the ECHO via the YouTube channel ‘ Idiot drivers on our roads ’, a channel which regularly posts videos in order to shame those performing risky manoeuvres.

In one clip a car turning right onto Oxford Street, on the outskirts of the city centre, darts across the path of an oncoming vehicle forcing them to slam on the brakes.

Meanwhile footage captured from a dash cam in Speke catches the moment a car uses a right lane to turn left at a roundabout, narrowly avoiding the vehicle to its left.

In one of the most bizarre clips in the compilation, a white van man is caught on camera pulling out onto a main road, maneuvering across give way markings, forcing cars to take action and swerve to avoid contact.

If you have information about driving offences contact Merseyside Police Roads Policing on (0151) 777 5747 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
