A car's dangerous lane-changing maneuver on the M-40 in Madrid: "I was looking for death and didn't find it."

Any driver can make a mistake behind the wheel. Sometimes we accidentally park in a loading and unloading zone, while other times we forget to use our turn signal. However, there are other reckless mistakes that can be more serious.

And sometimes, people forget the importance of connecting all five senses to driving while behind the wheel. Doing so is essential for your own safety, but also for the safety of other drivers and others around you who could be injured if an accident were caused by your carelessness.

The large number of reckless driving incidents in Spain are reflected daily on social media. Some profiles compile videos of reckless road situations, such as Dashcams España, a profile that gives us an idea of ​​how dangerous road conditions are in our country.

This Instagram account recently shared a video showing a car traveling on the M-40 highway in Madrid. The images were captured from inside a car traveling in one of the center lanes.

At the beginning of the video, everything seems fine: the highway isn't congested and other vehicles are moving normally. However, everything goes awry when a car decides to change lanes suddenly.

In this dangerous maneuver, the vehicle ends up positioning itself in front of the car filming the scene, which it approaches dangerously, forcing the driver to slam on the brakes. Following the viralization of the video, hundreds of people have been shocked to see this worker's reckless driving, which could have resulted in a fatal traffic accident.
