I witnessed this man driving along side another car trying to run him off. Once the other car pulled up, the driver of this car got out and then started to repeatedly hit the other car. Once that car drove off he then ran back into his to follow him again. Hope the other driver is alright.

The bloke got out of his and started hitting another car and shouting abuse at the driver. Absolutely disgusting.

Speeding drivers will now face stricter penalties and much higher fines which will be based around what they earn.
The new rules are due to come into affect in the UK on April 24 this year and will mean some offenders could be charged up to 175% of their weekly income.
Currently in the UK the minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your driving licence while the maximum fine is £1,000 or £2,500 for motorway offences.
But when the new guidelines are brought in next month, those caught driving at more than 101mph in a 70mph speed limit could be disqualified for up to 56 days and get a fine of between 125 and 175 per cent of their relevant weekly income.
Or if you are caught going between 31 and 40mph in a 30mph zone you will get three penalty points and a fine of between 25 and 75 per cent of your weekly income.
Currently many drivers get away without points and a fine by paying for a speed awareness course.
It follows tougher penalties being brought in this month for anyone using a mobile phone behind the wheel.
The previous penalty of three points and a £100 fine has been doubled to six points and £200.
the new changes mean if you’re a high earner, your fine could be huge.
If a footballer earning £300,000 a week was caught driving at 102mph he could face a fine of more than £500,000.
Meanwhile, an 18-year-old driver who works 40 hours a week on the minimum wage would be subject to a fine of less than £400 for the same speed.
How much will I be fined if I’m caught speeding?
The new speeding system is split into three bands which rate the severity of the offence based on the speed limit.
Band A refers to an offence that is between one and 10mph over the stated speed limit.
For example a band A speeding offence in a 20mph zone would be from 21mph to 31 mph.
A band B offence is 11mph to 21mph above the stated speed limit and a band C offence is 21 mph and above the stated speed limit.
The starting point for a Band A fine is 50% of your weekly wage.
Band B starting point = 100% of your weekly wage
Band C starting point = 150% of your weekly wage rising up to 175%

What absolute idiot parking in two disabled spaces without a badge or need to use it 😡😡💔

Off-topic a bit: I wouldn't feel confident filtering like that.
Maybe it's due to where this was filmed (London?) and people being more used to bikes hence leaving a sizable gap between themself and the car in front
Where I like it's not like that. Many simply don't know what filtering is, or what mirrors are for. They see the car in front and get as close as possible. I have it done on me when I take the bike (cycle) out instead of car..you'll approach stationary traffic, lights, junctions and roundabouts and they will stop literally mm away from your back wheel without a care in the world for you or anyone behind them.
Sorry if it's too off-topic. I think the person on the motorbike is being a prick and that they are lucky they didn't run someone over. Coming out your house, you would not stand a chance, you'd be flatted in no time. A baby..well, best not to think about it right? Because I think the outcome would be dire..
