A man has been charged after footage of a car driving on the wrong side of the road went viral on Facebook.

About 11.30am on Sunday, Facebook user Jess Green filmed a Nissan Skyline GTR travelling along Cessnock Road at Gillieston Heights, in the Hunter region.

In the footage, the car can be seen swerving to the left behind another car before crossing double white lines to overtake, forcing oncoming traffic to veer towards the verge.

The Nissan is then shown cutting back in front of traffic, before the footage ends.
