For one erratic driver, the universe was quick in handing out some instant karma for his bad behaviour on the road.

And it was all caught on camera.

In the short clip, uploaded to Dashcam Owners Australia, a red car towing a small tinny can be seen taking a sharp corner before speeding down a street in Sydney's north shore.

The red car can be seen zooming past another vehicle towards a T-intersection, braking at the very last moment and narrowly missing another car.

The dashcam owner can be heard to give his own, succinct summary of the driver's actions: "He's a f***ing idiot."

Almost instantly, karma caught up with the driver of the red car when his boat unlatched as he attempted to turn at the intersection.

"That's what you get for driving like a d***head," the dashcam owner called out, driving away.

The footage is an excellent reminder this holiday season to slow down, and drive with care.

NSW acting premier and minister for police Paul Toole has warned police will be out in force on roads this holiday season.

"Unfortunately, some people still think they're above the law," Mr Toole said.

"You don't want to get a fine in the mail or lose your license, but worse still, you don't want to be the reason someone can't celebrate with all their loved ones this Christmas, so I'm calling on drivers to do the right thing every time they get behind the wheel."

Let's hope this driver thinks twice the next time he puts the pedal to the metal.
