Video shows brave man confronting lunatic Dublin-reg driver who almost causes THREE potentially-fatal crashes on wrong side of tiny road

This is the scandalous moment a lunatic Dublin-reg driver almost causes three potentially fatal collisions while driving erratically on the wrong side of a tiny Irish road.

The should-be-banned-for-life dangerous driver of the silver Renault car can be seen careering carelessly around corners on the wrong side of the road before narrowly missing out on smashing into an oncoming black Toyota car by milliseconds while on the right hand side.

And just seconds after avoiding near-death, he nearly kills a person being wheeled in a wheelchair by a man as they come close together over a tiny bridge.

The man behind the wheel of the frightening tour around the small village of Sneem in Co. Kerry is understood to be a foreign national.

His two-minute turbulent piloting around scenic Sneem was caught on camera by a concerned passenger of the car trailing directly behind.

So disturbed and angered by what they had just witnessed, the deranged driver is even confronted by the fellow motorist once he has parked up and stopped his antics.

The video starts off by showing the dangerous driver swerving from left to right and even swinging the car around a blind bend on the wrong side of the narrow road.

Despite being frantically beeped and flashed at continuously from behind, he continues before we come across the first major shocking moment of the whole clip.

The driver is inches away from smashing into an oncoming car as he just pulls back into the left lane in time.

But not even one second after that is he back on the wrong side of the road again as he manoeuvres blindly down into a dip in the road. 

This is where we come across the second most shocking moment of the footage, the idiot nearly collides with a man helping a wheelchair user over a bridge in the village.

Not finished yet, the shameful pilot navigates his way from the main road onto a side road and around a corner all the while still on the wrong side.

He eventually comes to a stop where the driver of the car behind gets out, opens his door and confronts him before taking his details and ringing the Gardai.

The brazen man doesn't even seem to care as he tries to close his door on the angered motorist's fingers before parking up and walking away despite being in the middle of being reported.

Dublin Live has contacted Gardai about the incident.
