Police said the overtaking driver was "overtaking traffic before the brow of a hill with opposing traffic coming towards them and then go into a right turn only lane and persisted to cut up all other traffic and go straight ahead, narrowly avoiding two possible road traffic collisions".

They added: "This driver has been reported for driving without due care and attention and driving without reasonable consideration for other road users.

"You might not always see us, we’re not always in marked police vehicles, but we see you.”

"Operation Spotlight starts in July for a month-long operation targeting fatal four driving offences: seatbelt, mobile phones, drink/drug driving and speeding.

"Don't be one of the drivers that gets prosecuted."
