A reckless driver was caught on a dashcam spinning out of control on icy roads and only just missing oncoming traffic during the early morning rush hour.<br /><br />The footage shows the two lanes of traffic with one driver trying to overtake on the outside lane on the A322 towards the M3.<br /><br />The car speedily joins the dual carriageway and loses control, going side to side before mounting the central reservation and into oncoming traffic.<br /><br />The car narrowly avoids getting hit by an array of oncoming drivers before it finally comes to a halt.<br /><br />Mechanical engineer Stephen Stanbury, 35, captured the moment on the way to his work.<br /><br />Stephen, from Reading, Berkshire, said: "I drove to my workplace this morning on my usual work route, which is driving down the nine-mile road.<br /><br />"I joined the A322 travelling southbound to drive down the M3, this incident happened at 0600 in the morning, as you can see from the video there is a roundabout.<br /><br />"After going straight on, I notice there is a car in the middle reservation I eased of but the Jaguar next to me speeding ahead saw it last minute and moved to avoid it.<br /><br />"But with the icy roads, lost control and ended up on the incoming traffic's side of the road, luckily he didn't hit anyone and no one was hurt this time."<br /><br />Stephen also claimed that the same driver eventually sped past him further down the road while still on his way to work.<br /><br />He added: "He didn't learn his lesson. As he got back on my side and sped past me after, I did slow down on that road till I came off later, but the car did overtake me again.<br /><br />"So he must have made up the time he lost on his journey by getting back on the right side of the road and managing to overtake me again."<br /><br />The Met Office has issued a Yellow Ice Warning for the area as temperatures plummeted across the country with snow in some parts.<br /><br />The footage was filmed on January 17.
