The driver captures a moment many of us will have seen on our Snapchat feeds: Our friends driving, singing along to music and filming themselves at the same time.

But this incident a shocking example of when modern society's vanity and exhibitionism collides with reckless abandon should serve as a warning to all drivers to concentrate on the roads and stay safe.

After all, this individual's behavior put so many lives at risk.
