This is the terrifying moment a learner driver and their instructor escaped a pile-up by just inches when when a van overtook them and sped towards an oncoming car. <\/p>\n

Footage from driving instructor Ben Moody’s dashcam shows the van swerve into the student’s path to avoid a collision before braking sharply. <\/p>\n

Mr Moody, 27, said the incident, on Marston Road, Oxford, was the nearest he had come to a crash during a lesson.<\/p>\n

This is the moment a reckless van driver nearly hits a student having a driving lesson as they head down Marston Road in Oxford<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"After<\/div>\n

\"After<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After swerving out in front the van and causing a horn to sound the van then applied its brakes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The video begins with a student driver heading down the road at less than 25mph during a driving lesson. <\/p>\n

A horn sounds as the van swerves in front of them to overtake while another car is travelling in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

The van sheepishly moves into the learner driver’s path as the instructor can be heard saying ‘B***** Nora. What on earth was the point of that.’ <\/p>\n

This is the moment the van tries to zip past as a car is driving in the opposite direction<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Moody, pictured with one of his cars at BRM driving school, said that vehicles regularly try to overtake learner drivers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking to MailOnline, Mr Moody said: ‘That was definitely the closest we had to a collision,’ but added that he was regularly tailgated during lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I noticed it started to happen in my rear view mirror and could see what was about to happen so I was able to warn the student driving.’<\/span><\/p>\n

The Highway Code states that drivers should ensure the road is sufficiently clear and that there is a sufficient gap before trying to overtake. <\/span><\/p>\n

The encounter was filmed in May this year and recently emerged online. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
