A driver narrowly avoided being hit head-on by another car which was being driven on the wrong side of the road.

The near-miss on the A2260 near Ebbsfleet International Station was captured on Lee Wretham’s dash-cam and shows a silvery-blue car driving straight towards him.

The vehicle moves over at the last moment on to the correct side of the single-carriageway.

Mr Wretham was driving along the road heading towards Thames Way and had just gone over the roundabout where the B259 for Swanscombe joins the A2260.

As Mr Wretham came off the roundabout, he glanced down to check his speed but when he looked back up, there was a car flying towards him in the wrong lane.

The 39-year-old IT worker from Northfleet said he slammed on his breaks, sounded his horn and swerved but the other driver made no effort to move.

Watch: the car on the wrong side of the road.

He said: “He didn’t swerve. He casually glided back into the right lane. He had his hand on his forehead kind of like he was wiping his brow, just completely oblivious.

“There’s traffic lights there so you can’t make that mistake. The rest of that road all the way up to the football stadium is a single carriage way, a normal two lane road.”

Mr Wretham said he had not reported the incident to police but had posted it on social media in the hope people would learn from the video and pay more attention while driving.

He added: “There are people like me with dash-cams, you are going to get caught.”

The incident took place yesterday around 7.45pm and the video has been viewed more than 300 times.

A police spokesman said that although the incident had not been reported, the traffic summons team are aware and are carrying out enquiries to identify the vehicle.
