This is the shocking moment a reckless motorist mounts the pavement to pass a long line of traffic – after driving right up behind the motorist in front.
The footage shows the dangerous driver zooming along the pavement as it passes a queue of cars and lorries waiting at a red traffic light near Ebbsfleet international railway station in Kent.
The dashcam video, shot last Thursday at 3.53pm at Thames way in Northfleet, showed the driver undertake many vehicles while driving at a considerable speed.
The driver brazenly ignored the safety of pedestrians who might be in their path, motoring down the lane into a bend.
Then, without indicating, the driver leaves the pavement to rejoin the road, pushing in front of their fellow motorists, still patiently queueing.

‘The road ahead splits into two with traffic lights for turning right and for going straight ahead.
‘The lights for going ahead were green but a couple of lorries were too far over so were slightly blocking the road as the lights for turning right were red.
‘To the left of me is a cycle and footpath.
‘Wait and see what the white car behind me does. Unbelievable!!!’
