This is the moment a trucker appears to deliberately stop his vehicle on a busy motorway and get out of his cab to shout at another driver.

The moment was caught on film as it happened on the M60 near Trafford Park - one of the busiest stretches of motorway in the country.

The driver of a car also stopped so the two men could rant at each other, causing a hold-up behind them in two lanes. Bosses at recycling company Plevin have have promised to investigate the incident.

Alan Crosby caught the incident on film on his dashcam.

He told the M.E.N: “The driver of a Plevin lorry stops in the inside lane, gets out of his cab and starts shouting at a car driver who has stopped alongside in the second lane, effectively closing two lanes of traffic in rush hour!

“You cannot hear the driver shouting on the footage, but I could hear him through my driver’s window and it was pretty heated.

“It brought to mind the footage from last year near Whitefield when the van driver stopped in front of an HGV and threatened to open the door a couple of times, but this is far far worse, with the man wandering about on the carriageway in very busy traffic. Sheer lunacy!”

The incident happened on July 13 in the morning rush hour.

A spokesman for Plevin said the company has not received a formal complaint in relation to the matter, however it will now be investigated.

They added: “At Plevin we take health and safety very seriously and as a responsible operator we expect our drivers to behave professionally and courteously to other road users.

“Upon receiving the footage, we will be investigating fully and will be formally dealing with the driver responsible via our disciplinary processes.”

In February, a van driver who stopped his vehicle infront of a lorry on the same motorway, near Junction 17 at Whitefield, escaped jail ‘by a whisker’ and was handed an eight month suspended prison sentence.

In that case, the van driver, Anthony Cairns, 43, from Salford, was also given an 18 months driving ban, ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work, and attend a probation service anger management course.

Video footage of the incident in October last year went viral.

Drivers behind were forced to stop on the motorway by Cairns’ erratic driving between Junction 17 at Whitefield and Junction 18 at Simister.

He was arrested after footage taken by the lorry driver’s dashcam was published by the M.E.N. and then viewed thousands of times on YouTube, attracting a furious response from readers.

Bolton Crown Court was told that Cairns was behind the wheel of a Ford Transit when he ‘deliberately’ pulled in front of a wagon driver and braked - before ‘straddling’ two motorway lanes.

Footage showed Mr Cairns pulling up in front of the lorry before moving over to the left hand lane.
