iN VIDEO: The anxiety-inducing dashcam footage of horrible driving in Kamloops

Just when you thought it was safe to get behind the wheel and hit the highways and byways, a Kamloops YouTuber is out with the latest edition of the bad drivers in Kamloops.

The anxiety-inducing compilation of clips from Jonathan Kalf's dashcam show drivers making multiple lane changes to reach highway exits, drivers running red lights, drivers cutting other drivers off and drivers making dangerous left turns to name a few.

One bad driver heads the wrong way down a four-lane roadway, and tries to fix their mistake but ends up still driving the wrong way down a left turn lane, with oncoming traffic approaching.

The sometimes confusing Kamloops constructions zones make a cameo as well, as one driver couldn’t understand the temporary lanes, and had to weave between pylons to get our of the way of an oncoming vehicle.

While most of the bad drivers likely got away with the antics caught on camera, one risky driver wasn’t so lucky. A few seconds after doing a U-turn in an intersection near a 7-Eleven, a police car with lights blazing can be seen giving chase.
