Shocking video footage captured by a motorcyclist shows a ute swerving in and out of the oncoming lane on a country road in the North Island.
Posted to a Taranaki TikTok user’s page, the video shows a motorbike following behind a ute on what is understood to be the Toko to Stratford road.
In a bid to take the corners at speed, the ute is seen regularly moving into the lane of oncoming as if it was taking a “racing line” on a race track.

At one point, a container also flies onto the road out of the ute’s open tray, before bouncing into a paddock.
