Reckless and dangerous drivers caught in dash cam footage

Plenty of us will have seen some outrageous driving on the roads around Liverpool - and even wished we'd captured their shocking antics on camera.

One motorist has done exactly that using dash cam footage to shame the bad drivers who make our roads more dangerous.

Youtube account 'Idiot Drivers on our Roads' has dozens of videos that show some of the worst driving you'll see - including near misses, careless overtaking and even driving on the wrong side of the road.

The video compilation above includes just a few examples of some of the idiot drivers on the roads in Merseyside.

The first clip is taken as the vehicle with the dash cam approaches a mini roundabout.

As the driver enters the roundabout another car cuts in from the left, forcing the driver to slam on the breaks to avoid a collision.

Next we see cars waiting at a set of red traffic lights when one impatient driver decides to take a shortcut.

In a highly dangerous move, the driver in a black Range Rover uses a left turn only lane as a shortcut at the traffic lights and then loops round across onto the other side of the road, before carrying on straight cutting out the traffic lights.

In another clip a private hire driver can be seen skipping long queuing traffic by driving on the road markings in the middle of the road.

The taxi driver unbelievably drives straight down the middle of the road casually bypassing other cars queuing in traffic and narrowly avoiding cars turning at junctions in the road.

The dashcam footage also captures the moment that a quad bike almost causes a crash at some traffic lights.

In the clip, traffic can be seen waiting at the lights as they are about to turn green.

Suddenly, out of nowhere a quad bike veers into shot on the wrong side of the road.

As the lights turn from amber to green and cars begin to move forward, the quad bike speedily cuts across the road in front of the cars and turns left at the lights narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic.

This unbelievable footage is just a snapshot of some of the driving that occurs on Merseyside's roads everyday.
