A video emerged online showing a motorcycle with a P-plate losing balance and swerving on the road, before hitting a car.

The motorcyclist then rides away without stopping after the accident, as though nothing happened.
The incident happened on 13 January on the BKE, at around 6.20pm.
Following the collision with the car, a voice (believed to be the driver of the camcar) was heard shouting at the motorcyclist: “OI!”
However it did little to catch the attention of the motorcyclist, who fled the scene as quickly as he hit the vehicle.
