Furious driver gives a frustrated motorist the finger after holding him up on an Outback highway – but who was at fault?

  •  Shocking moment motorist swears at driver behind him in bout of road rage
  •  The incident occurred after the two drivers had a dispute over speed 
  •  The video has been shared on Lancelin Facebook page to warn other drivers

This is the shocking moment a furious driver swears at another motorist in a dispute over speed.

The unimpressed driver was captured on a dash cam giving the finger to another motorist in a bout of road rage as he travelled up the Indian Ocean Drive, in Western Australia.

In the short clip a red Suzuki Jimny can be seen driving up the highway - which is clearly marked as a 100km/h zone.

But for an unknown reason, the driver is filmed driving well-below the speed limit, so the car behind decides to give him a 'gentle prompt' to speed up.  

Instead of increasing his speed the driver decides to do the complete opposite and starts to slow down. And in a move meant to agitate the driver behind, he stalls to a speed of just 44km/h.

Fed up of driving slowly, the car behind indicates to overtake. But as soon as he does the motorist in front slams his foot on the gas.

And when the motorist eventually overtakes him, the angered driver gives him the finger.

The video which was titled ‘No good comes from this’ was uploaded to the Lancelin town Facebook page in a bid to discourage other motorists from acting irrationally.

Alongside the clip, which has already garnered over 200,000 views, the caption read: ‘Watch this short video of an incident earlier today on Indian Ocean Drive. 

'Unfortunately this type of behaviour is all too common. Come on people, be courteous and consider others.’

It is unknown if the video was a real life incident or had been created simply to encourage drivers to be safer on the roads.
