The drive between Aramoana and Port Chalmers in New Zealand’s South Island is a picturesque and peaceful one, especially if one takes time to admire the scenery.

Unfortunately, one campervan driver’s questionable driving has stolen all the attention after he was called out by the authorities.

Shocking footage circulating of the campervan veering across the centreline of the road and zig-zagging into blind corners has emerged online, leaving many in shock and disbelief.

The footage was captured by a passenger in a car travelling closely behind the campervan, who uploaded the video on social media.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said: 'I would describe this as dangerous driving, particularly with going around blind corners on the wrong side of the road in a large motor vehicle.'

Police have stated that someone could have easily been seriously harmed had the campervan collided head-on with another vehicle passing by, leaving Senior Sergeant Bond reminding the public to contact authorities if similar behaviour is ever spotted.

The company that rented out the campervan has been in touch with the police, and Sergeant Bond said that the vehicle’s registration number had already been identified by the rental company.

The police are working on tracking down the driver.

While this incident happened in New Zealand, it’s unfortunately all too common in many countries. There is sadly no shortage of dangerous driving in Australia, with a range of horrible but true stories: from motorists being fined for performing X-rated acts to speaking on video call.

You can read more about the story of a woman driving on the Princes Highway in Tempe who was photographed using her ‘phone’ while behind the wheel by a speed camera and received a hefty $362 fine.

On the topic of phone use, research has shown that up to 60 per cent of drivers use their mobile phone while driving, according to money-saving website Mozo, and the consequences are deadly.

Taking off your eyes for more than two seconds also increases the chances of crashing, which has the potential to lead to serious injury or even death.

With increasingly busy lifestyles and the constant need for connectivity, it’s no surprise that mobile phones play a central role in this issue. From compulsively checking our incoming notifications to trying to send a crucial message on the go, such distractions can lead to a lapse in concentration, which leaves the driver vulnerable to mistakes, translating to danger on the road.

The statistics are startling: Research reveals that using a mobile phone while driving could increase the risk of a crash by a whopping four times. One only needs to think about a moment of distraction on a winding road to realize how quickly a pleasant road trip can turn into a nightmare.

Moreover, aside from the obvious physical harm that can result from such accidents, there is also a significant emotional impact. Victims of distracted driving incidents often grapple with distress, trauma, and fear long after the actual occurrence. Not to mention the guilt and remorse experienced by the offending drivers themselves, particularly in instances where their actions have led to severe injury or loss of life.

So, while we all appreciate the convenience of modern technology, it’s clear that the cost of using it irresponsibly can be dire, especially behind the wheel. As road safety experts often say: keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone. There’s no text message, email, or social media update in the world that’s worth losing a life over. Drive safe, folks!

for a start it looks like it is loaded incorrectly. for another the driving is dodgy and irresponsible and dangerous. Do they even have a licence? They need to be off the road before they kill someone.

hope they are charged at least/ lose their license.

I drive a Winnebago Leisure Seeker, a bit bigger than the RV in the clip. If the lane is wide enough for the RV, then there is no excuse for not staying in one's lane. Poor driving at it's best.

Obviously a moron behind the wheel would be interesting to know the nationally of the driver brain dead dickhead and what country it was in

 

[CristinaV]

I didn't see any oncoming traffic. Did I not pay attention?
What I did notice was a narrow road. Move to the left and the camper van would be driving on the side of the road.

 

[CristinaV]

hope they are charged at least/ lose their license.

Are you a perfect driver?

 

[Cyberchook]

Ok it was not those two Scots in Kilts I hope!

 

[CristinaV]

That’s not the point here

So what is the point? Were there any cars coming in the opposite direction? Were they on a 3/4 lane highway endangering other drivers. What is the point that makes you so judgemental?

 

[CristinaV]

Are you a perfect driver?

And the above also goes for Jennylolo. She is being judgemental. More so than you Littleboy8.

 

[Littleboy8]

And the above also goes for Jennylolo. She is being judgemental. More so than you Littleboy8.

boohoo to you I feel sorry for you girlie

 

[Veggiepatch]

And the above also goes for Jennylolo. She is being judgemental. More so than you Littleboy8.

Handbags at 10 paces! Bring it on!!!

 

[Littleboy8]

Are you a perfect driver?

Are you

 

[Littleboy8]

Handbags at 10 paces! Bring it on!!!

Oh yeah babythis is fun

 

[Veggiepatch]

Are you a perfect driver?

Do I sniff a hint of judgement right there? ^^^^

 

[Littleboy8]

And the above also goes for Jennylolo. She is being judgemental. More so than you Littleboy8.

Aw schucks thanks

 

[Supernan1950]

Are you a perfect driver?

Not perfect but pretty good I’ve been driving for 56 years and only had 2 driving infringements I’ve taught all my kids and grandkids to drive and been asked by driving schools to come and work for them. Always be respectful to other drivers as there are a lot of idiots out there.
