James said: "I capture some dodgy driving every day, but this is about the worst I've seen in a long time.
"Usually it is just people pulling out or changing lanes without looking, or passing very close."
James said he thought he was going to be hit.
He added: "It was quite a shock.
"I thought they'd taken a wide turn pulling out of somewhere, but watching the video later it showed them coming down road the whole way."
