THIS is the shocking moment a motorist lashes out at a tractor driver in a 10-minute row over who should reverse on a narrow country lane.

The incident unfolded in Weston-Super-Mare, , after the tractor tried to negotiate a bend while carrying large equipment on August 17.

Video footage captured by a stunned onlooker shows the disgruntled motorist, dressed in a black suit, half way up the ladder to the tractor’s cab.

A black Golf can be seen parked in the road just feet away from the stopped tractor.

A witness, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “The man in the car was being uncooperative and was refusing to reverse to enable the tractor to go into the lay-by, so then we could pass, and then the tractor could continue.”

As the confrontation between the two unfolded, the tractor was reportedly forced to edge further over to allow the driver room to try and pass.

The witness claims the motorist then got out of his vehicle “in an absolute rage” and approached the tractor driver, “flinging his hands aggressively”, and shouting.

Eventually the tractor driver tries to speed off, as the angry motorist continues to cling onto the cab’s door.

She added: “The tractor driver tried to move away from him, and that’s when I started filming.

“The tractor driver was trying to move back out of the way and trying to stop him.”

She said the confrontation continued for around ten minutes, with the motorist repeatedly getting back into his car before emerging to argue again.

Eventually the witness called out to the man, saying: “Can you * move? I wanna get home.”

She said she hoped the comment would bring the confrontation to an end.

Instead, she claims, he turned his attention towards her, saying: “He turned to me with an absolutely fuming face.

“I thought, ‘Oh God, he’s going to come for me.'”

After telling the raging driver that she was recording in a bid to protect herself, she claims he approached her car.

She alleges that the man pushed her phone into her face, causing it to fall onto the car floor.

She said: “He didn’t bruise my face, but it hurt a little bit.”

She said she had sent the tractor driver her footage and reported the incident online to Avon and .

An allegation of assault was made but cops have since confirmed the video did not “pass the evidential test” to pursue prosecution.

The force said: “We were contacted by a woman reporting an assault, which happened in the Puxton Lane area of Weston-super-Mare on Monday morning (17 August).

“An is underway and we’d ask any witnesses to the incident to contact us online, on 101, or by visiting an enquiry office, using the reference number 5226235125.”
