The video and photos below capture the moment a motorist cuts right across a cyclist and gets out of his car for a pretty nasty road rage row.
The clip is not as bad as some of the other recent head-cam videos that have emerged; with assaults occurring in some cases.
But the interesting thing about this clip is that it’s been presented on social media as quite a bad road rage incident.
The car cuts across the path of the cyclist in the bike lane, apparently to avail of a parking space roadside.
However, we suspect a lot of Irish cyclists - perhaps more than half - have been on the receiving end of a tirade like this.
Let us know in the comments section below how you’d rate this incident against what you’ve witnessed or experienced yourself.

Is it on the upper end of the scale, or would you regard this as mid-range and perhaps something that happens frequently on Irish roads?
The motorist charges out of his car, with a lot of irate gesturing going down.
