While the driver has now gone viral, it seems the complaint lodged against him by the cyclist did not warrant any significant sanction. The driver was simply warned about his "inconsiderate driving".

The incident occurred in Warwickshire, with the driver of the car overtaking the cyclist as he was indicating to turn right off the road. As the driver passed, the cyclist waved his hand to remonstrate at being overtaken while indicating.

This prompted the man in the car to stop in the road, before getting out of his vehicle to confront the cyclist. A woman traveling in the car also got out. However, as they left the car, it began rolling forward.

This prompted the cyclist to shout a warning - "your car's running away, careful". The couple then ran back to the car, with the man applying the brake before resuming his confrontation.
