Polokwane - A driver has captured motorists recklessly endangering fellow road users along the N1 in Gauteng earlier in March.

In the video, on March 29, you can spot many road users attempt to bypass heavy congestion on the N1 (Polokwane to Pretoria) by driving dangerously towards oncoming traffic.

According to Arrive Alive: "This clip is the answer to why we have so many road fatalities. It clearly depicts the blatant lawlessness exhibited by some drivers on our roads.

"There can be no question whether these drivers are aware that they may not overtake across a clearly marked barrier line. What they are doing is lawless, reckless and extremely selfish."

Wheels24 is aware that the driver of the video could've captured the footage via a cellphone whilst driving and we do not condone such irresponsible behaviour.
