A video has emerged of a driver stuck in traffic deciding to take matters into his own hands when another car 'tried to undertake' on the M58 motorway near Liverpool, UK on Sunday.

In a very British example of 'road rage', one driver decides to peel out from the queue in front of the passing car - then blocks it from going any faster than the stuck traffic for several minutes.

The filmer, who can be heard expressing his amusement, later wrote online that "an idiot in a Mercedes tried to undertake everybody and a hero in the Renault deals with him like a bad-ass".

However some viewers of the video, which was posted on YouTube, have speculated that the Renault driver may have been at fault.

"If traffic is moving slower in one lane, it's not an undertake. You use both lanes all the way up to the cones, then one-by-one you merge (taking it in turns). That's why it's called "merge in turn" and is part of the highway code", one commenter wrote online.

The footage was captured using a dashcam on Sunday morning.
