A teenager moped rider narrowly escaped being knocked off by an impatient driver while on his way home from college.
Ethan Smart was driving along when a Mazda careered in front of him as it jumped out of a queue of traffic caused by the opening of a Christmas market.
The near miss was captured on 19-year-old Ethan’s helmet camera as he rode through Worcester city centre last Thursday afternoon.
More than 10,000 festive shoppers descended on the city to enjoy the opening of the annual Victorian Christmas Fayre which caused long tailbacks.
The clip shows Ethan, who was on his way home from college, swerve into the central reservation as the silver car suddenly pulled out into his lane.
Ethan’s mum Jennie, 46, of Worcester, said: “My son was on his way home from college when this idiot almost hit him.
"He didn't even look. I'm fuming.
"My son was on a moped which is lit up like Blackpool illuminations.
"He would have seen him if he had bothered to look.
"It's just a total disregard for other road users.
"Then just after the lights he pulls back in and goes on up the London Road.
She added: "Worcester traffic is terrible and the Victorian fair just adds to that.
"It does sound like I'm moaning about the fair, I'm not I think it brings in much needed business to our city.
"I'm not concerned about that, I'm more concerned about the recklessness of drivers especially this one in and around Worcester."
