With an increasing number of drivers opting to fit their vehicles with dash cams, bad driving footage is spreading across the internet.
From dangerous overtake manoeuvres to bizarre and unexpected road users, dash cam footage captures daily life on the road.
Having captured a number of deadly road incidents, dash cam footage is now used in court to prosecute drivers, naming and shaming those who thought nobody was looking.
One recent incident in Chester lead to the prosecution of an Audi driver after his dangerous driving was caught on camera.
Filmed on a road in South Gloucestershire, this shocking footage captures a van driver attempt a very dangerous move.
While driving along the A4174 ring road approaching the Dramway Roundabout in Pucklechurch, a white van can be seen approaching a junction.
Filmed from the dashboard of a car behind, the white van suddenly realises it is in the wrong lane and starts to pull out.
However, as the van switches lane late, the car behind has been given little time to slow.
The white van shows no indication that he has seen the speeding car behind and continued to pull out.
As both vehicles speed towards one another, it looks as if a nasty crash is about to unfold.
Just in the nick of time the car behind with the dash cam pulls into the slip road and misses the van by inches.
While breaking hard, the dash cam car narrowly sails past the white van and appears to carry on driving.
Hopefully, the van driver will think twice before rapidly changing lanes again.
However, it’s not just dangerous driving that dash cameras have a habit of capturing.
Previous footage caught the moment a pedestrian attempted to teach a bad driver a lesson.
Filmed in Russia, dash cam footage shows the car approaching a pedestrian crossing at speed.
As the car draws closer to the crossing, a pedestrian using the walkway becomes upset.
The man looks angry as he approaches the car, clasping his hands in rage.
It what appears to be an attempt to teach the driver a lesson, he punches the car bonnet.
After this bizarre outburst, he seems unfazed and proceed to carry on walking.
