The incident, which happened shortly before 3pm on New Year’s Eve, was captured by the dashcam in the Lancashire Police vehicle.

The car appears to have ‘P’ plates, meaning recently passed, on the back.

Speed recorded is between 28mph and 33mph during the short clip, with the car on the wrong side of the road for more than 10 seconds with other motorists passing it.

The section of road is a notorious accident blackspot in the city, with the deaths of Rachel Marie Murphy and Shelby Maher in April this year making headline news.
