It begins with the camera car, a Honda Civic, making its way along a two-lane road through a built-up area.

As it rounds a left-hand bend you can make out a roundabout up ahead.

What turns out to be a Skoda Fabia can be seen coming the other way around the roundabout far too quickly and the driver begins to lose control.

The Fabia slides and the driver fails to catch it, as the Skoda flies over the grass central reservation and towards the camera car.

The Fabia smashes into the camera car, spinning the Civic around and facing the row of buildings on the far side of the road.

The video then shows where the Civic and Fabia ended up – the former sideways with its airbags having gone off and the latter way across on the other side of the road.

People couldn’t believe the Skoda driver’s actions in the comments below the video.

One person said: “Hope you gave the other driver a good rollicking!! Hope the police do them for dangerous driving.”

Another said: “Bloody hell, must have been going far too fast in order to set off the Honda’s side impact airbag.”

While a third said: “He or she was obviously driving in a way that was inappropriate for the road conditions. Enough said.”
