A DASH CAM filmed the moment an angry driver refused to let other motorist filter into a lane – and viewers are divided on whether he’s right.
The Ford Fiesta signalled to change to the other lane, but the driver of the dash cam vehicle refused to leave him enough space.

At the beginning of the video, the Ford Fiesta overtakes the angry driver and then begins to change to the right lane.
However, the angry driver accelerates, not allowing him to perform the manoeuvre.
The Fiesta driver tries to position the front part of his car in the right-hand lane, but the dash cam driver has other ideas.
The TikTok poster captioned the video: ‘Not today, my friend’, while he is then heard shouting: “What the f*** are you doing, f***me!”
The Highway code says: “If you need to change lane, first use your mirrors and, if necessary, take a quick sideways glance to make sure you will not force another road user to change course or speed.
“When it is safe to do so, signal to indicate your intentions to other road users, and when clear, move over.
“You should follow the signs and road markings and get into the lane as directed.
“In congested road conditions, do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging, in turn, is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed.”
The video uploaded by @funnfactory1 has had more than 884,100 views on TikTok.
People were quick to comment on the video – and some were divided in their opinion of each driver’s actions.
One said: “Why do people think having your indicators on means you automatically have the right of way.”
Another said: “Why not just let him in? He might be in an area he didn’t know and didn’t realise the left lane was left turn only.”
A third pointed out: “Sometimes people genuinely are in the wrong lane or something. This doesn’t mean they’re trying to push ahead.”
This comes after two drivers argued on a narrow road in what’s being ‘the most British road rage incident ever.’
Plus, a video of an ‘idiot’ driver performing Britain’s worst overtake went viral on social media.
