A reckless Scottish driver has been captured driving on the wrong side of the road towards oncoming traffic.

Dash cam footage appears to show the moment the motorist swerves onto the opposite side of the road while overtaking with police now investigating the 'dangerous' act.

As the Record reports, a red Kia can be seen driving towards oncoming traffic on the A985 near the junction for High Valleyfield, Fife. The car appears to be driving at speed alongside other motorists at 6pm on Tuesday, June 18.

Officers have appealed for witnesses as the driver of the motor was captured driving across a white arrow on road that is pointed in the opposite direction.

Inspector Cheryl Young said: "We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured it on dash-cam to come forward.
