A SHOCKING video has emerged of a van driver speeding across a Tayside junction on the wrong side of the road.
The frightening footage, captured by two cameras situated on a property in Muirdrum, near Carnoustie, shows a truck slowly coming to a stop at the junction — but at the same time a van speeds past the lorry.
While performing the manoeuvre, the van crosses the junction without appearing to even attempt to slow down for any potential oncoming traffic.
Onlookers standing talking at the side of the road look on in disbelief as they realise just what has happened, but luckily the van doesn’t appear to hit any unsighted traffic while crossing the junction.
The incident happened on the B9128 as it crosses an unclassified road.
The owner of the cameras has uploaded the footage to the internet to show the plain disregard the van driver had for other people’s safety.
The videos, which have already been watched by more than 10,000 people, were condemned by dozens of viewers.
The person who uploaded the videos said there had been “quite a few more incidents” and that it “happens on a regular basis”.
He warned there could be a fatality, adding: “The second camera caught the van going over the junction at speed.”
Jenny McMillan, 39, who lives nearby, said she would like to see speed bumps installed as she has witnessed many similar incidents in the past.
She said: “I was in disbelief when I saw it.
“That’s where me and my daughter cross the road when we go for cycle rides.
“A child, a dog walker, a mother pushing a pram — they wouldn’t have stood a chance if they had been hit by that van.
“I think we need speed bumps at that junction because you regularly see people not stopping, although it’s usually in the other direction.
“I think people believe Muirdrum is quiet and they can get away with it.
“But why would you take that risk?
“Why would you do that?
“I just hope they can catch the guy who did it.
“It’s not like it was even late at night, it was 2pm.”
