This road rage driver forces another motorist to stop in lane 3 of motorway
This is the moment a maniac got out of his truck after jamming on the brakes in the fast line of a motorway and making the person behind come to a total stop in a road rage incident.
The terrifying confrontation happened in lane 3 of the M40 northbound near Warwick and involved, police said, 'no regard for the potential consequences' with great risk of another vehicle ploughing into the back.
The man, who police have decided not to name, then got out of his VW Amarok truck to shout at the other driver. Police said it was remarkable the dangerous driving in February this year, didn't result in a serious injury or death.
Unfortunately for him he was caught on dashcam of his victim and prosecuted by police. The person submitted the footage to Warwickshire Police's Operation Snap, where it was reviewed by a Road Safety Officer, and the man was summonsed to court for dangerous driving.

Police said the 38-year-old from Kent was sentenced to a 3 year driving ban, 250 hours of unpaid supervised work and a 20 day Rehabilitation Activity Requirement at Coventry Magistrates Court on 14 October.
Warwickshire Police Inspector Dave Valente said, "Whilst extremely rare, this case highlights the serious consequences of allowing yourself to get angry behind the wheel, putting other people's lives at risk.
"Op Snap allows drivers to submit moving footage of poor driving, without taking matters into their own hands.
Those whose driving falls below the standards expected can and will be held to account.
