Truck almost collides with bus after dangerous overtake
Hi neighbours. A truck that decided to overtake a truck-and-trailer unit on a hill on SH1 south of Warkworth narrowly missed colliding with a bus on Monday afternoon. A woman can be heard in video footage of the dangerous manoeuvre saying: "They're going to do a head-on." The offending truck cut off the truck-and-trailer, causing the driver to break so hard the vehicle stalled, causing delays for those caught behind. There was a passing lane less than 400m after where the incident took place.
Reports of dangerous or unsafe driving can be made by calling *555.
