This staggering footage captures the moment a maniac driver risks lives by undertaking a motorbike on a pavement.

The clip shows the driver twice mounting the pavement as she struggles to get past a motorcycle,

She even manages to take out a phone to take pictures of the ‘dawdling’ biker.

Software engineer Mike Binks, 50, from Reddish, was riding his 110cc Honda Wave along the 20mph Ten Acres Lane in Newton Heath on his way to work when the incident happened at around 8am.

The footage - taken from a camera he mounted on the rear of his bike - shows the Micra indicating left to undertake Mike before mounting the pavement, but then aborting the manoeuvre.

It also shows the driver appearing to hold up a pink-coloured mobile phone to take her own footage of the motorbike before continuing her attempts to get past it.

Moments later the car indicates right in a second attempt to overtake, but is thwarted by on-coming traffic.

The Nissan then attempts a second under-taking manoeuvre, indicating left and mounting the pavement a second time. On this occasion the Nissan is successful.

Mike said: “At the time I could see her riding up behind me. I was trying to work out what was going on. I reviewed the footage when I got to work and that’s when I was able to realise what was really happening.

"She’s committing a number of driving offences: using a mobile while driving; undertaking, driving on the pavement. At the very least it was careless driving if not dangerous driving.

“I certainly expect police to speak to her. This sort of behaviour is extremely dangerous not only for myself but what if there were pedestrians on the pavement?

“I consider this driver exceptionally dangerous. If I get the slightest knock or hit I will come off my motorcycle. I can’t afford to be involved in any collisions. I’m especially vulnerable as a motorcyclist.

“It’s happened several times and I have quite a few videos I have built up. It’s quite a collection but this is by far the worst event. It’s a 20mph section of road. I consider it an appalling standard of driving.”

He said he suspects the driver thought he had been ‘dawdling’. “I don’t speed,” he said.

“Coming to work I have had people driving right behind me, flashing their lights and doing all sorts of things. This is not the first incident. So I thought I would attach a camera. If I phone the police it will be my word against them if something happens. If there is video, it’s a bit harder for them.”

He said he uploaded the footage onto the GMP website on June 19, the day after the incident, leaving his details, but heard nothing from the police.
