Video: ‘Britain’s worst driver’?

This video asking whether it features ‘Britain’s worst driver’ has been published on YouTube and a national newspaper.

The MailOnline says:

Christian Clark, 27, from Leeds, was caught on camera undertaking a white lorry on the hard shoulder of the A1 in Richmond, North Yorkshire.

He then cut in front of the vehicle and swerved into the fast lane, where he slammed on his brakes just metres away from another car.

His reckless driving on the southbound carriageway in Skeeby was filmed on another motorist’s in-car camera and later shown to North Yorkshire Police.

Now, Clark has been banned from driving for 12 months after pleading guilty to dangerous driving at Northallerton Magistrates’ Court.

PC Andy Grainge, of Northallerton Police, described the offence on January 27 this year as ‘a very dangerous manoeuvre’.

‘It is extremely fortunate that nobody was injured,’ he said.

The defendant has admitted that he made a massive error of judgement.

‘Hopefully this will serve as a warning to other motorists that putting lives at risk on the roads can lead to you losing your licence.’

Clark was also sentenced to 150 hours’ unpaid work and ordered to pay £85 costs.
