This is the shocking moment a road rage driver risked causing a pile-up after stopping his Audi convertible dead in the middle of a motorway lane just to annoy a fellow driver.
The driver repeatedly 'brake-checked' the recovery truck and made obscene gestures before slamming his car to a halt in a lane on the M53 im Cheshire.
The shocking incident was filmed by a passenger in the recovery truck driven behind by Bill Houghton - who can be heard screaming at the Audi driver: "I'll smash you to f *** ing bits, you f***ing bell-end."
The dispute on Saturday afternoon between junctions 8 and 10 is thought to have been caused by the Audi driver becoming enraged at the slow speed of the recovery vehicle.
In the video, the Audi driver cuts in front of the recovery truck and gestures for him to pull over.
He then moves back in to the fast lane and which point an enraged Mr Houghton yells threats and calls the Audi driver a "b ***** d".
