An Auckland truck driver says he witnessed the worst piece of driving in his life as a car overtook him on windy yellow lines in a gorge near Rotorua.
The man, who didn't want to be named, was taking his parents, on holiday from India, from Tauranga to Rotorua earlier this month when his father videoed the vehicle.
The video shows the man negotiating a windy section of State Highway 36 when he is suddenly overtaken by a white four wheel drive.
The vehicle passes them on a blind corner on the yellow lines before carrying on in the distance, cutting the corner while approaching the next turn.
"I was just shocked because I was driving to Rotorua with my family and we were just going around a corner and the car just came out of nowhere.
