This is the heart-stopping moment an angry driver got into a heated arguement with a cyclist and left his car rolling down the street.<\/p>\n
The confrontation took place after the blue Peugeot driver overtook the cyclist on a narrow road near the M24 in Solihull, near Birmingham.<\/p>\n
Footage taken on January 2 was shared by the cyclist on Twitter as he explained he indicated to turn right about 50 yards before turn when the driver overtook him in a dangerous move.<\/p>\n

The blue Peugot went on the opposite lane and sped past him as he yelled: "Woah!"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The driver stopped his car right before the diversion and got out of the vehicle along with a female passenger.<\/p>\n
"What's wrong with you, you tw**?" he shouted at the cyclist, who replied: "Don't brakecheck me and don't overtake when I'm indicating to turn right."<\/p>\n
The man walked towards him with clenched fists and yelled: "What? What?"<\/p>\n
The vehicle started rolling forward before the cyclist warned him: "Your car's running away, your car's running away. Careful!"<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cyclist wrote in the post and said the incident was "only worthy of a 'warning letter sent for inconsiderate driving' from Warwickshire Police."<\/p>\n
Viewers shared their thoughts after watching the clip, with one comparing the angry driver to Ronnie Pickering, who went viral in a road rage video in 2015.<\/p>\n
"He clearly wasn't even in a hurry since he had time to get out and argue with you," a viewer wrote.<\/p>\n
Another said: "Driver's giving Ronnie Pickering vibes."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Others analysed the footage and said the driver gave enough space for the cyclist during an overtake.<\/p>\n
"His attitude was wrong but what happened before this? It's not shown on this clip and why are you waving in a threatening way?" another questioned.<\/p>\n
But one argued: "Cyclists have to indicate earlier than cars as they have to indicate that they are going to, firstly, move into the centre of the road, then turn. <\/p>\n
"Early indication is necessary to alert drivers to adjust their speed,not pass, allow the cyclist to get into the correct position."<\/p>\n
