Wild footage captured a driver pulling over a loaded concrete mixer and continuously braking it during a road rage incident that lasted several kilometres.
The Holden Barina driver was filmed running over the truck shortly after the lights turned green at the corner of Shellharbour Road and Sunset Avenue at Shellharbour, in the Illawarra region of NSW, on January 9.
The truck driver honked before the man in the hatchback immediately hit the brakes, causing the concrete mixer to quickly slow down.
“What the hell are you doing,” the truck driver shouted.
“Yes, I know you're a tosser.”
The Holden Barina driver didn't seem to care and happily played a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the larger vehicle.
At the next traffic light, the man in the hatchback stopped and then reversed towards the truck.
The truck driver again honked disapprovingly before the man in front of him opened the door and said a few good words.

“Oh, fuck off,” the truck driver shouted as the man flipped him the bird.
When the lights turned green, the man in the hatchback initially refused to move before slowly crawling forward to the sound of more horns from the frustrated truck driver.
The man in the truck tried to avoid the situation and went into different lanes, but the man in the Barina continued to change lanes to stay ahead of him.
At the next traffic light, Holden's driver opened his car door again and this time he appeared to ask the truck driver to pay him to let him pass.
“Yes, I'll get the money,” the truck driver said sarcastically.
Once again, the Holden driver initially refused to move and turned on his hazard lights as cars passed in the other lanes.
“He wants a damn accident,” the truck driver said.
The hatchback driver ended up driving in both lanes to ensure the loaded concrete mixer couldn't avoid him.
“Ah, what a hassle,” says the concrete mixer driver as they drive over the bridge at Lake Illawarra.
Social media users were quick to criticize the Holden's driver.
“I don't think he fully understands the damage a full concrete truck can do to such a small car if he breaks the checks at the wrong time,” one person wrote.
'Great driving control by the truck driver… and emotional control. I would have lost it much worse.'
Others praised the truck driver for his restraint.
'You have the patience of a saint… I would take that dashcam footage straight to the police. What a tossa,” someone said.
Another added: “I should have just rammed him when he did his break check.”
