Moment furious row erupts as cars face off and BOTH drivers refuse to reverse

ROAD raging drivers exploded in a ferocious argument after both refused to reverse – sparking gridlock in a residential area.

Chaos erupted when a BMW driver appeared to turn off a main road into a side one.

He was forced to move into the opposite lane to avoid parked cars blocking his path.

But waiting a short distance back from the junction in his path was a red Peugeot.

Instead of reversing, the red car stayed put, meaning the BMW was stuck with nowhere to move.

The refusal to budge left the BMW driver livid.

He got out the car and launched into an argument with the opposing driver.

In shocking footage of the altercation, the Beemer driver shouts “it’s a main road” as the Peugeot man gestures and demands he reverse.

The BMW motorist then accuses his rival of “speeding up” when he saw him turning off the main round.

The row results in a traffic jam to form behind them which snakes through a residential area.

And it all became too much for one woman who emerges from her car screaming at both motorists to move, telling them she had her kids in the car.

Frustrated motorists then honk their horns as tempers boil over during the road rage incident at an unknown location.

The video then cuts to the BMW driver appearing to give in and reverse around following a lengthy row.

It appears those caught up in the commotion sided with the BMW and blasted the Peugeot driver for being stubborn.

But the incident led to viewers online to argue the BMW was in the wrong.

One blasted Beemer driver: “What’s wrong this guy he said he ain’t in the wrong lane … what country he think he is in … move your car.”

A second also fumed at him, adding: “Black car got out his car rather that just backing up and he’s in the wrong.”

While a third joked: “Rock paper scissors should sort things out”

The Highway Code states that drivers on a main road have priority over drivers on a minor road.

At junctions, drivers emerging onto a road should therefore give way or make it possible for a driver coming off.

Forcing a car to reverse back onto a main road puts the driver and others at risk as it could cause a collision.

That means the red Peugeot in this case should have reversed, as the BMW has priority over them.

And according to Ian Fido, Head of Training at RED Driving School, the nearest you can park to a junction is ten metres.

That means the parked cars the BMW was avoiding are also at fault.

He explained: “The junction should be kept clear to help observations when emerging and to make it easier for vehicles to manoeuvre in and out of the junction.”
