This was the moment a van driver on the M53 in Cheshire purposefully swerves into another driver after failing to get in the right-hand lane on Wednesday (November 20).

The filmer explained: "The white van driver joined the M53 motorway from the Junction 5 slip road and indicates to join the motorway.

"In a single manoeuvre and a single indication, the white van moves from the slip-road to lane one and continues to indicate - which could be interpreted as a 'forgotten' signal from joining the motorway; or an intention so moves from lane one to two.

"The white van continues to move from lane one to two in what does not appear to be a large enough gap.

"The white van does not wait for space but instead begins the manoeuvre.

"The black car - a Vauxhall Corsa - brakes and swerves to avoid a collision in lane two and regains position in front of the van, which moves back to lane one.

"A short moment later, after joining the car side-by-side, the white van driver appears to deliberately ram the car, forcing it towards the central reservation barrier.

"After the collision, the white van appears to quickly leave the motorway at Junction Six and the black car follows.

"The police have been informed and are investigating."

The white van driver joined the M53 motorway from the Junction 5 slip-road and indicates to join the motorway. In a single manoeuvre (and a single indication), the white van moves from the slip-road to Lane 1 and continues to indicate - which could be interpreted as a 'forgotten' signal from joining the motorway; or an intention so move from Lane 1 to 2 (of 2).

The white van continues to move from Lane 1 to 2 in what does not appear to be a large enough gap. The white van does not wait for space but instead begins the manoeuvre. The black car (Vauxhall Corsa) brakes and swerves to avoid collision in Lane 2 and regains position in front of the van, which moves back to Lane 1.

A short moment later, after joining the car side-by-side, the white van driver appears to deliberately ram the car, forcing it towards the central reservation barrier.

After the collision, the white van appears to quickly leave the motorway (at J6) and the black car follows. The police have been informed and are investigating.
