A dashcam has captured the moment a dodgy driver races along the newly installed cycle path in Castle Street, before swerving back into traffic and passing another car outside the Toitu Otago Settlers Museum.

This footage was taken by Nick Rutledge on his dashcam last week.
It shows a car being driven in the cycleway on Castle Street.
The vehicle then swerves through traffic near the settlers museum.

Rutledge says he reported the incident to police who had since reviewed the footage.

Police say it's an opportunity to remind drivers, roads aren't race tracks and everyone has the right to safety when travelling from place to place.

They say anyone who witnesses dangerous driving should report it immediately.
