THIS is the shocking moment a taxi driver knocks over a motorbike after a biker threatened to "break his skull" during a heated road rage incident.

Footage filmed by the motorcyclist shows him approaching the cab before the pair start arguing on a residential street in Liverpool.

The motorcyclist then launched a Ronnie Pickering-style rant and shouted at the Delta Taxis driver before asking whether he was “blind”.

He screamed: “Are you blind? You’ve pulled out at the roundabout."

He then called the driver a "d*******" and added: "That’s why I slammed [the brakes] - I almost came off.”

The cab driver then appears the smirk at the biker, sending him into a furious foul-mouth rant where he threatens to “break his skull”.

He added: “Is that it, is it? You f****** k***. Don’t f****** laugh at me you t***. I’ll break your f****** skull.”

But just moments later the driver could be seen turning his key before wheelspinning towards the motorcyclist’s bike.

He rammed into the bike and knocked it onto its side before driving off into the distance.

It is unclear what caused the men to start arguing in the first place and police today said they have spoken to both parties involved.

Delta Taxis is based in Bootle, Liverpool, and claims to be the “most advanced” taxi service in the city because of its “highly accredited multi award winning service”.

Ronnie Pickering, from Hull, became an internet sensation after his bizarre road rage rant was recorded by a biker in 2015.

He became famous after his catchphrase, "Do you know who I am? I'm Ronnie Pickering", went viral.

The Sun Online has contacted Delta Taxis for comment.

A Merseyside Police spokesman said: “The incident was reported to have happened on August 25.

“Both parties have been spoken to and the incident has been closed with no further action against either person involved.

“No formal complaint has been made and the matter is being dealt with by insurers.”

So police not interested, but I wonder how licensing councillors will view the incident, assuming driver still has a job with Delta?

Driver obviously provoked, but councillors may well take a different view.

Get the impression the driver couldn't give a toss anyway

I would advise the driver to plead self-defence, and he needed to leave the situation as he feared for his safety.

Or maybe as the police aren't pursuing matters someone already has.
