Captioned ‘Only in Doncaster’ and soundtracked by classic 80s hit The Race by Yello, the clip has also stoked fierce discussion among viewers.

One said: “It’s just rude, aggressive driving. The car did not have right of way to drive on the pavement.”

"Drivers here are shocking,” posted another.

While another posted: “So many idiot drivers around these days.”

The Highway Code is vague on priority when it comes to merging, stating: "In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed."
