DRAMATIC video shows a car driving recklessly in front of a lorry on a motorway as they try to block it from overtaking.
The video shows a grey Vauxhall Grandland weaving in between lanes as it cuts off the Frenni lorry driver in front trying to overtake.
The clip was taken on the M4 near Port Talbot, South Wales on Tuesday night at around 9pm.
Footage was taken by a car passenger who wishes to remain anonymous.
The video shows a car driving in front of a lorry in the right hand lane down the M4.
The lorry moves into the left hand lane preparing to pass the Vauxhall, but the car immediately veers in front of the lorry forcing the driver to brake suddenly.
The lorry again tries to overtake the car on the right hand lane, but once again is blocked off by the Vauxhall.
For a third time the lorry drifts into the opposite lane as it attempts to overtake the car, but the Vauxhall yet again drives into the same lane as the lorry to prevent it from getting passed.
The cycle continues down the M4 as the traffic approach a junction. The driver of the car filming keeps their distance throughout the battle.
Eventually the car which the incident is being filmed from overtakes both the lorry and the Vauxhall. With the lorry tailing the Vauxhall by metres.
They posted the video to their Facebook page saying: “A car annoying a lorry on the M4…. Why are people so reckless, we went past but they’ll prob end up crashing at some point! (the police already know)”.
