The video highlights three incidents involving drivers who proceeded straight in lanes designated for left turns.
In the first incident, a car in the leftmost lane goes straight at an intersection instead of turning, nearly colliding with a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
In the next clip, the danger escalates as a similar mistake forces a delivery rider on a motorbike to swerve, causing him to lose balance and fall.
The final video depicts a near-serious crash as a car nearly collides with another at the intersection.
