A couple of road rage incidents involving drivers all over the press in the last few days, for anyone who's missed them. Best to view the videos to properly assess them, so just links below.

First, PH driver in Aberdeen gets too close to a cyclist, then admits on video he did it just to 'teach him a lesson', and isn't exactly diplomatic about it.

Surprised he got off with just a warning from the council:

Quote:
Councillor John Reynolds, Convener of Licensing Committee, Aberdeen City Council, said: “The incident was investigated by enforcement officers and the licence holder was issued with a formal warning and reminded of his obligations in terms of his licence."

Second, cab driver in Staffs gets a bit het up after an incident on a busy slip road, gets out of his car and starts shouting the odds. The other driver says he's going to report him, and seems to be one of those types who starts shouting and swearing himself yet it's just the other driver who needs to calm down :roll:

Quote:
Alex can be heard shouting back: “Are you stupid? Are you f**king dumb?”

Alex said: “I was worried he might do something to my car but in the end he just started yelling at me.

“It was just a shock and I think people’s road rage needs to be dialled in.

But has the sun broken GDPR rules by publishing the videos ?

Not if it's in a public place.
