A young driver has been charged after a fellow motorist filmed a car blindly overtaking traffic on a deadly Raglan highway. The footage taken on State Highway 23 on Saturday showed the driver overtaking on a broken and solid yellow centre line as well as into oncoming traffic. A 20-year-old Hamilton man will appear in Hamilton District Court facing one charge of driving dangerously as a result, Waikato Road Policing Manager Jeff Penno told Stuff on Tuesday morning. In the video, Raglan man Jon, who filmed the clip, can be heard exclaiming "what an idiot". He told Stuff he intended to make a formal police complaint.
