A flat deck truck driver who veered onto the footpath to get past a Christchurch kerbside recycling truck has been caught in the act.
The flat deck truck was stopped behind the recycling truck next to road works on Maidstone Rd, Ilam, on Thursday.
When a motorist with a dashcam came up behind the flat deck, the impatient driver veered onto the berm and sped past the recycling truck as it was lifting a yellow bin.
The incident, which was caught on video and posted to Facebook, shows the flat deck narrowly missing the bin and clipping a hedge on the way past.
Commenters on the post said it was lucky there were no pedestrians on the footpath or vehicles coming out of the driveways.
