A bit of Road Rage this morning
Discussion
I was amazed at how someone can get so angry, this morning.
The Astra in the video went past me and a Mondeo at a set of lights, but it would seem the Mondeo didn’t like this and sped up, neither willing to yield to filter into one lane.
The Mondeo driver was then a bit cross, tailgating the Astra driver, beeping and flashing his lights. At the end of the video the Astra turns right, so does the Mondeo.
However when I go past, the Astra changes his mind to follow me, the Mondeo then follows the Astra, which makes me think “what’s going on here then”.
Unfortunately the cars are now behind me so not in the video, the road is a short dual carriageway (40mph limit), so the Mondeo pulls alongside the Astra for a few seconds, then pulls in front to stop it.
The Astra is having none of this and tries to get past, the Mondeo tries to stop this by swerving across the two lanes to stop the Astra getting past. I eventually lose sight of them because they are coming to a stop, both zig-zagging across the road.
Does the action in the video really warrant this reaction? I think not, it’s crazy. Also wonder if I should have stopped, and hope there was no fisticuffs (both were chaps btw).
Just thought I’d share.

Although Astra driver should not have stayed alongside Mondeoman if he hadn't the "go" to get past. Mondeo left the first lights quite smartly. Astra never really looked as though it was going to get past safely, though, despite the original advantage of a rolling start. So, shouldn't have bothered. Then all would have been peaceful!
