Starting up at the Broughton roundabout the reckless driving is capturing during the near two minutes of video.

The car drives at terrifying speeds through Fulwood – tailgating drivers, pulling out into oncoming traffic and at one point having to go onto the other side of the road to avoid a crash.

As the drivers approaches the junction of Aqueduct Street and North Road the car skids with the driver nearly losing control.
