A Manitoba RCMP dashboard camera caught a distracted teenage driver nearly colliding head-on with a Mountie's cruiser last week.
The video shows the driver travelling down Highway 317, which runs between Lac du Bonnet and Libau, Man., when all of a sudden the car begins drifting into the oncoming lane, forcing the RCMP officer driving the cruiser to move over to the shoulder.
It was "dangerously close," the RCMP said in a Facebook post, which prompted the officer to pull the driver over.
"The 19-year-old driver indicated she 'may' have been distracted."
She was charged with careless driving, slapped with a hefty fine of $672 and issued a serious offence notice.
RCMP added: "Scary, right?!"
