A dodgy driver has been spotted swerving on the motorway before almost crashing into the central reservation.

Worried, Ady Laidlaw was making his way to work when he came across the motorist.

The driver of what is believed to be a 2014 Ford Focus began moving across the two-lane road.

Spooked by the vehicle’s dangerous movement, Ady became worried about his own safety.

The red car swerved left to right before almost smashing into the central reservation.

Hitting the rough bit of road, the driver immediately pulled to the left, whilst driving between junctions three and four on the M54 towards Telford.

Whilst managing to stay in the left lane, one cautious driver attempted to overtake the car.

The vehicle also appeared to have no lights on despite driving in the dark.

The footage was captured on Tuesday (30 Sept) at 04:45am, as reported by Need To Know.

Ady said: “I do not know what happened to him. I got off at the next junction.

“But one of the other drivers put their window down and shouted they were calling the police.”

Members of the public were left shocked by the footage.

Rachel said: “He’s got no lights on either.”

Pete added: “Poor Ford.”

One said: “What a nutter.”

Another said: “I would have held off a lot more than that, could have easily crashed, spun and been heading back towards you.”

One added: “I’d probably hang back further than that.

“Just in case they did crash and probably straddle the lanes so no one tries to get in front of them.”

Staffordshire Police and West Mercia Police have been approached for a comment.
