Bristol driver goes viral after using bus lane to overtake 20 queuing cars

A driver in Bristol has received over 17,000 likes and a large amount of criticism after posting a video of himself using the bus lane on a busy road to jump a long line of queuing cars.

The video, posted on TikTok by a user whose handle is @theamazingman, shows dashcam footage of slow-moving traffic along what appears to be Wells Roads in Bristol. Accompanied by audio of F1 commentary in which Sebastian Vettel outmanoeuvres Lewis Hamilton, the driver then uses the bus lane to overtake queuing cars and captioned it: "This is what happens when 20+ cars can't read road signs. I'd complain but gets me home faster."

Amassing over 17,000 likes, the poster of the clip has gone viral and has been widely praised by many for outwitting his fellow drivers. However, many others were outraged, with one claiming, "you're the one who can't read road signs" and another saying, "you used a left turn only lane."
