The Highway Code is, in its own words, for all road users: pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and drivers.

But for one man in a silvery blue Jaguar in Essex earlier this week, it was his way or the highway as he kicked off in a shocking road rage row.

A video shot in Epping Forest on Monday showed the balding man stepping out of his car after allegedly overtaking a group of horse riders at speed on a narrow country lane.

He then mocked one of the horse riders for making the universal 'slow down' gesture - an outstretched arm moving up and down - as he drove past.

'Okay? I don't care. I know what to do,' he raged at one of the riders, who stood next to his car in a high-visibility jacket, her horse patiently standing beside her.
