Cutting across three lanes

The latest incident to capture the nation's attention takes place at a traffic junction.

The driver of a lime green Toyota, who was at the left-most lane of a four-lane road, decided to manoeuvre across three lanes, along the pedestrian crossing.

According to footage from the dashcam, the incident occurred on Tuesday, May 1, at 2.12pm.

Facebook users react
