Stay in your lane, bro.

Wild footage shows a New York City daredevil zooming down the FDR Drive on a one-wheel electric skateboard and stunning commuters — about a week after cops announced a plan to crack down on road rule-breakers.

The brazen rider even stood up on the scooter and waved near a highway off-ramp at one point, prompting a driver shooting video of him to burst into laughter, according to footage posted by Newsflare.

Wearing a helmet and T-shirt, the one-wheel rider zipped across a bridge in front of a pickup truck as other drivers gawked.

The dangerous move comes after the DOT and NYPD announced last week that cops would beef up enforcement on e-scooter scofflaws and other electric-vehicle drivers who flaunt traffic rules, in the name of safe streets.

Driving the one-wheel vehicle on the highway is “not allowed,” DOT spokesman Scott Gastel told The Post on Friday.

A record-setting 124 people had died in traffic incidents on Big Apple streets as of July 1, despite Mayor Bill de Blasio’s vow to cut traffic deaths to zero.
