Dangerous driver busted after near-miss collision with two police bikes
An allegedly dangerous driver has been caught on camera nearly colliding with two police bikes in Adelaide Hills.
On Saturday, two drivers and two riders were caught on dash cam driving recklessly near Cudlee Creek.
The video shows the drivers taking dangerous risks as they overtake around blind bends and across double lines.
One of the motorists can be see going into the opposite lane, overtaking another vehicle and then narrowly dodging a head-on collision with two police bikes.
Superintendent Anthony Fioravanti said the reckless driving wouldn’t go unpunished.
“This footage shows motorists who were seconds away from collisions that could have had a devastating impact for themselves and the other drivers in the area,” he said.
One of the four drivers was identified on Saturday, however, further dangerous behaviour was uncovered on another driver’s dash cam.
South Australia Police have urged drivers to be careful in the lead up to Christmas.
“On Friday, SA Police launched Operation Safe Holidays with a particular appeal to the community to think about their manner of driving," Superintendent Fioravanti said.
“Police want everyone to have a safe Christmas – and not to see us at the scene of a preventable, life-changing crash. “This footage shows motorists who were seconds away from collisions that could have had a devastating impact for themselves and the other drivers in the area. “Police don’t want to be on the doorstep to deliver the news to your loved ones of a terrible crash – we simply don’t want to see you in these circumstances. However these drivers will be seeing police.”
