Wild footage has emerged of a driver slamming on their brakes to avoid out-of-control hoons driving erratically along the Bruce Highway.

Described as the “notorious northside takeover”, the video shows hoons in balaclavas allegedly unscrewing tyres from vehicles before performing burnouts while driving southbound on the Bruce Highway toward Brisbane’s Gateway Motorway.

In the footage one vehicle spins out of control, narrowly missing another car and forcing the driver of the other car to brake suddenly.
