Heart-stopping moment driver overtakes lorry and veers into oncoming traffic on Scots road
A heart-stopping video captured the moment a reckless driver tried to overtake a tanker on the A82 and veered onto the wrong side of the carriageway towards oncoming traffic.
The car is then seen braking and slowing down almost to a halt, then pulling towards a grass verge as the vehicles approach each other. Speaking to the Record, he said: "I was so shocked, I couldn't believe it. I was concerned for the four elderly people in the car. Thankfully it wasn't dark and the oncoming traffic reacted.
The video has now racked up more than 11,000 views on Facebook, and people were quick to voice their thoughts on the reckless road-user.
