Priory Lane road rage driver Jason Wells delivers a threatening tiradeThis latest installment of road rage news comes from the mean streets of Hove, where the following was witnessed just a few days ago.
A cyclist was riding correctly along a main road when suddenly a white van pulled out into his path from a junction to his right, causing the cyclist to brake sharply. The cyclist shook his head and waited for the van to get out of his way.
The van driver wound down his passenger side window and shouted over to the cyclist: “I’m really sorry mate. I just didn’t look before I pulled out.”
The cyclist smiled before replying: “No problem! I know you didn’t do it deliberately.”
Both then proceeded on their way with no further comment.
Merry Christmas!

There looks to be a barbed wire fence within the foliage, complete with stake shaped posts. That could have been very nasty.
