A motorcyclist and a Jaguar driver got into a heated argument on the motorway which has sparked debate online about who is at fault. <br /><br />Dash cam footage captured on the A50 near Stoke-on-Trent on May 9 shows a buildup of traffic on the busy road near the Staffordshire city.<br /><br />As the vehicles come to a standstill, cars swerve to avoid the traffic, including a silver Jaguar moving into the path of a motorbike as the biker attempts to filter down the inside lane. <br /><br />After an exchange of words, the Jaguar once more swerves into the biker's path and then pulls away. <br /><br />The biker then appears to attempt to overtake the Jaguar, swerving into the path of a lorry in the left-hand lane. <br /><br />The two appear to exchange remarks before the biker pulls away.<br /><br />Later on, the Jaguar can be spotted chasing the biker after he allegedly gave the driver an obscene hand gesture. <br /><br />The filmer, Dave Hazell-Darby, is an HGV driver who was off-duty and heading home to Uttoxeter when he captured the footage. <br /><br />Hazell-Darby believes the silver Jaguar driver was to blame for the incident. <br /><br />He told Newsflare: "I honestly expected there would be a crash, I noticed the two cars in my door mirror, travelling at speed, so I slowed down to give them room to pull in. I hadn't noticed the bike at this point.<br /><br />"When the Focus pulled in I didn't expect him to further pull in to the lane with the lorry, which forced the Jaguar to take avoiding action into the path of the bike.<br /><br />"At that point, I saw the altercation between the other two. I expected that after the chap on the bike had his say, that would be the end of it and we would go on our way. <br /><br />"After that, I was shocked as the driver of the Jaguar used his car as a weapon to intimidate."<br /><br />Other users echoed Hazell-Darby's comments, with one noting: "I’d report that without a doubt. Silver car driver took exception to biker trying to filter, weaving about."<br /><br />But others disagreed.<br /><br />One user wrote: "The biker was needlessly shoving his nose in when he could have just let it unfold and then filter through afterwards – not to mention having a dig at the trucker who did nothing wrong."<br /><br />Hazell-Darby said he was disturbed by the scene he witnessed.<br /><br />He added: "I found the whole thing to be shocking to witness and wonder about the mindset of the people involved, having just narrowly avoided a serious accident in the first place."<br /><br />+CLIENTS ARE ADVISED TO BLUR NUMBER PLATES+
