WATCH: Who is at fault over shocking road rage clash?
A Gold Coast motorcyclist nearly came to blows with a ute driver after they clashed in a shocking bout of road rage.
Helmet cam shows the motorcyclist riding beside with the silver ute, with the driver refusing to concede any ground to the rider.
Beeping and screaming at each other, the rider manages to move in front of the car - but the driver isn’t having a bar of it.
Pressed up against the footpath, the footage shared on Dash Cam Owners Australia shows the ute driver speed past the motorcyclist along the side of the road before swerving back into the centre of the lane, nearly sending the rider into another car.
"What the f*** are you doing," one of the men can be heard yelling.
Brought to a standstill by a red light, the exchange looked like it would to turn violent when the driver hopped out of his car and approached the motorcyclist.
"What you think you get some f****** special treatment?," the ute driver is heard saying.
"Get on the sidewalk."
The motorcyclist can be heard asking "What is your problem buddy?" as shocked motorists watch the shouting match unfold.
The man eventually returned to his car, bringing the aggressive encounter to an end, but footage shared online has since divided opinions as to exactly who was in the wrong.
Lane-splitting, or lane filtering, is riding a “motorcycle at low speed between stationary or slow moving vehicles travelling in the same direction”, Queensland’s transport website states.
State road rules allow for the practice, as long as there are two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and one is not a turning lane.
