This sort of driving has no place on public roads.
The speed limit here is 50mph, the 3 cars at the start of the video are all doing approximately 50mph.

Then this lunatic comes flying up from behind, if there wasn’t space in the left lane I honestly don’t think he would’ve been able to stop before hitting the car in the right hand lane.
