Anyone who drives can accidentally make a mistake behind the wheel. Sometimes we accidentally park in a loading and unloading zone, in a ford, or forget to use our turn signal. But some reckless acts are much more serious than others. Some of them can even put our own lives and the lives of others at risk.

And sometimes, people forget the importance of connecting all five senses while driving a vehicle. 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.

There are many reckless driving incidents in Spain. A few years ago, these incidents were only remembered by those who experienced them. However, today, with the advent of social media, some profiles compile videos of reckless road situations. This is the case with Dashcams España, whose posts number in the thousands and are updated daily. Profiles like these give us an idea of ​​how dangerous road conditions are in our country.

This Instagram account recently shared a video showing a vehicle traveling down a street in central Madrid. The images were captured from inside a vehicle traveling on a street with multiple lanes traveling in one direction.

Things get complicated when a bus trying to get into the leftmost lane to go in the desired direction tries to change two lanes in a short stretch. It manages to change the first lane without difficulty, but the same doesn't happen with the last lane change.

And despite the bus signaling for a long time that it wants to change to the left, the car filming the scene doesn't allow it to merge. In fact, it does the opposite and accelerates in the lane. Ultimately, the bus driver commits a traffic violation to change lanes.

The person who recorded the scene on video and posted it to this Instagram account intended the criticism to be directed at the bus driver, but instead received the exact opposite. Aside from some users who also criticized the bus's behavior, many have expressed the ambiguity that it wouldn't let the bus pass after it had been signaling for a while. "You're the typical bitter driver with zero empathy," commented one user; "Anything but let him pass, right?" added another.
