That’s one way to beat the traffic! Watch as a reckless motorist gets on the sidewalk and drives through the bike lane to avoid the queue
- Motorist seen driving on pavement while traffic was backed up in a queue in Kent
- Viewers were told to share the dashcam footage from Thursday with police.
This is the shocking moment a reckless motorist pulls onto the pavement to pass a long line of traffic, after driving right behind the motorist in front.
Footage shows the dangerous driver zooming along the pavement as he passes a line of cars and trucks waiting at a red light near Ebbsfleet International train station in Kent.
The dashcam video, filmed last Thursday at 3:53 p.m. on Thames Way in Northfleet, showed the driver colliding with many vehicles while driving at considerable speed.
The driver blatantly disregarded the safety of any pedestrians who might be in his path, driving down the lane into a curve.
Then, without signaling, the driver leaves the sidewalk to rejoin the road, pushing ahead of his fellow motorists, who are still patiently waiting in line.

The motorist then proceeds to drive along the pavement ‘at speed’ towards Ebbsfleet International Station in Kent.
Since the video was shared on TikTok, viewers have urged the man who filmed the clip to send his footage to the police.
The sign read: ‘I was on my way home from work on the route I always take.
‘The road ahead splits into two with traffic lights to turn right and to go straight.
The go ahead lights were green, but a couple of trucks were too far away so they were slightly blocking the road when the right turn lights were red.
‘To my left there is a cycle and a path.
‘Wait and see what the white car behind me does. Incredible!!!’
Justin wrote on TikTok: ‘Send it to the police. I’m sure they’ll interrogate them long enough to recoup the time saved.
Charlie wrote: ‘I’d send that to the police.’

Numerous viewers of the clip urged the man who filmed it to send the footage to the police after the driver broke various traffic laws.
The motorist ignores the safety of potential approaching pedestrians who may be around the curve and quickly returns to the roadway into an empty right lane.
