Car drives on wrong side of highway in Hobart

A rogue sedan has been filmed narrowly missing two head-on collisions while traveling down the wrong side of a busy Tasmanian highway.

A concerned couple followed the small brown vehicle after they witnessed the near-misses in Brighton, north of Hobart, on their way to the hardware store on Sunday.

The car, believed to be a vintage Datsun, appeared to be driven by a male and was dodged in a split second move by a car traveling down the highway in the right lane.

A woman filming the event let out a distressed yell, joined by a passenger in the back seat, as she watched the drama unfold. 

‘Oh my God!’ she said, with a young female voice then asking, ‘what’s wrong?.’ 

Shortly after, the small car forced a black sedan to quickly swerve to avoid collision as it traveled in the outside lane towards a roundabout. 

‘He just went the whole f***ing way down the highway on the wrong side of the road,’ the woman passenger could be heard saying.

After unleashing an almighty toot on the horn, the couple continued to track the little car’s movements in an effort to take down it’s registration plates. 

‘We need to get his number and tell the cops he shouldn’t be driving,’ the woman said.  

They finally closed in on the vehicle and took it’s plates as they followed it out the other side of the roundabout.
