This is the shocking moment a learner scooter driver uses the pavement to overtake a car.
Dashcam footage that captured the dangerous manoeuvre, which happened in broad daylight, has gone viral online.

The stream of traffic slows to let a white van travelling in the opposite direction pass by.
At this point the apparently inpatient learner driver, wearing a white t-shirt and helmet, mounts the curb.
He races along the pavement and speeds past driveways.
