A Volkswagen Caddy was filmed by a cyclist’s dashcam making an illegal and dangerous U-turn through a bus lane and onto the pavement.

In the video, passers-by on the street look shocked and one man tries to walk around the van before it nearly reverses into him.

The van finally manages to make a full turn on the pavement but when driving off nearly hits a woman pushing a pram.

Users of the social platform Reddit have heavily criticised the driver for putting others at risk.

One user said: “I mean what can you really do it’s a 2-ton machine on wheels being controlled by an idiot.

“Unfortunately you really can’t physically do anything to stop people from doing stupid s**t like this idiot in a car is doing.

“There are rules that you’re not supposed to do certain things in a vehicle but if there’s not a physical barrier of some kind stopping you from doing it, there’s really not much you can do to stop them.”

Other users have criticised the attitude of the mum who did not know how to react.

One user said: “The mom barely reacted. I get that she’s on her phone but lady there’s a 2-ton piece of metal coming your and your baby’s way. At least sidestep.”

However, the mum was visibly in shock after witnessing the van make the illegal U-turn and then proceed towards her.

Drivers making an illegal manoeuvre or U-turn in a prohibited area can be fined £60 and three penalty points on their license.
