A car's reckless lane change forces the one behind it to use the shoulder to avoid a collision on a Toledo highway: "They almost ended up looking like a Picasso."

Anyone who drives can unintentionally 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 a daily occurrence in our country.

This Instagram account recently shared a video showing a car traveling on the A-5 highway in Toledo as it passes through the town of Torre de Esteban Hambrán. The images were captured from inside a car driving in the left lane of this road, which has two lanes going in the same direction.

At the beginning of the video, everything seems fine. A red car is driving in front of the car capturing the scene, and another vehicle can be seen in the right lane. Everything goes awry when the red car decides to move into the right lane.

And despite the fact that traffic isn't heavy, he carries out the maneuver in a very dangerous manner. As he changes lanes, he places himself right in front of the car already driving in the right lane, so much so that the latter is forced to move to the shoulder to avoid a collision.
