Before he makes his escape, the biker is seen yelling "Who the f*** do you think you are?".
He then challenges the driver to "get out then".
After shaking off the blow, the seething driver steps on the gas to try and track down the assailant.
But before he can cut him off, the biker suffers an embarrassing fall after crashing into a railing on the side of the road.
It's not the first time motorists and pranksters have been dealt instant karma.
A TikTok influencer was publicly humiliated after a stupid Apple Pay prank backfired horribly.
Video shows the prankster quickly being arrested by plain clothes police officers after being grabbed by the man he pretended to scam.
Approaching a passer-by in central London, the Apple Pay prank involved the influencer going up to a man and tapping their phones together.
The prank's victim quickly grabs him by the arm while the perpetrator loudly shouts "hairline" repeatedly.
He then tells the man "I took £1,000 out of your account for a new hairline" in reference to his own receding style.

Despite the chaos, the TikToker tells his cameraman to "keep rolling bro" with a big grin on his face.
But he quickly changes his tune when the man starts asking people to call the police.
The video captures his friend being put in handcuffs by two plain-clothed police officers while he continues to shout that it was "just a prank".
The boy is pushed to the floor as the policemen tell him to keep still.
Despite shouting out in pain and saying they're "breaking my hand off," he encourages his friend to "keep recording."
Police then calmly tell him he has been detained so that they can conduct a stop and search for articles relating to fraud.

Mum of two in tears as 'TikTok addiction' sends her to prison

Katherine Greenall, 29, spent a whopping £300,000 on TikTok tokens which she went on to gift to her favourite creators after she stole it from a St Helens business A mum was left crying after her " TikTok addiction" sent her to prison. Katherine Greenall, 29, wiped away tears as she was sentenced to 28 months behind bars after stealing an estimated half-a-million pounds from her employer while she worked as an account manager for the car company. Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday how Greenall started working for the St Helens-based New Reg Ltd as a services manager in April 2021. Greenall, of Gloucester Street in the same town, was then promoted to accounts manager in December of the following year - which gave her access to business bank accounts. ‌ ‌ Prosecutor Christopher Taylor detailed how she had been considered as a "vital part of the company's growth", "very organised and capable" and both "trusted and respected", but committed a "significant abuse of trust" in manipulating financial reports that enabled her to siphon off funds into her own accounts. An analysis of her bank statements found during 2023Greenall received a total 53 unauthorised deposits totalling £57,036 from her employer. The same period also saw a "change in her expenditure", including numerous purchases from supermarkets, food outlets, Amazon Prime and sports retailers. The mum also splashed out on family holidays and hotel bookings as well as using stolen cash to pay for a family solicitor. Greenall's criminality went on to accelerate in the early months of 2024. In January that year, she made further four deposits to the tune of £8,917, followed by 10 more in February amounting to £14,916. She went on to pocket a staggering £146,288 in 20 separate payments, which were dwarfed by another 31 transactions in April 2024, giving a £196,364 boost to her bank account. Missing sums of money started to raise suspicions among senior managers. Smaller than expected profits were raised with Greenall during an internal investigation on May 1. She pledged to investigate the matter before returning to her desk and made a "final deposit" of £20,000 into her account, citing a false family illness. Greenall would admit her criminality in another meeting on May 7 and she went on to be arrested on May 13. ‌ She claimed the deposits "started small" and that they were used to fund "household purchases." But se later admitted the money had been used to fund TikTok payments, gifting tokens to content creators on the platform. Greenall ultimately swindled a total of £443,523 from the company in 121 separate transactions. She went to spend £301,162 on TikTok tokens with the proceeds being shared between the social media platform and the content creators who got the coins between February 2024 and April 2025, Liverpoo Echo reports. Greenall had no previous convictions. Paul Becker, defending, told the court that his client "may have been suffering from a form of addiction to TikTok", but stated that she had "no formal diagnosis to such an addiction". ‌ It is believed her two children, a six-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy with severe ADHD, will be looked after by her sister, a nursery care worker, in her absence. Mr Becker said: "This is fraud on a massive scale. It started out for personal matters. It was not TikTok initially, but it is right to say that the bulk of the fraud went towards TikTok. "It started off otherwise, and it became TikTok. It was not for any sort of financial reward. It was amusement. The more she did it, the more she became addicted to being on TikTok. What she was getting out of it was entertainment. That is what she was paying for. That is where the majority of the money was going towards. "Of course, that came from her employer who is massively out of pocket. It placed the business at risk and other members of staff in jeopardy. This was an abuse of trust on a massive scale. She is thoroughly ashamed of what she has done and has come today prepared for what might be said to be the inevitable. ‌ "She did not hold back with the police. She told them chapter and verse. It is not really rational thinking, to embark on this voyage of fraud and misadventure. What started out for her own personal benefit very quickly escalated into providing monies to TikTok. "Bringing up children is not easy. This, I am sure, had an effect on her at the time of the offending. It is perhaps some sort of insight as to why somebody embarks upon this sort of fraud. "It may be said that she was just greedy and wanted a better life and that is why she did it, but one has to have a holistic view of the factors in her life. It must have worn her down. It is not to negate what is deplorable behaviour, but she did not have an easy time. She is, if nothing else, a good mum who has done her best." Greenall admitted to one count of fraud by abuse of position. Appearing in the dock, she wiped away tears while being jailed for 28 months.

Mum's 'TikTok addiction' results in prison sentence for fraud

Katherine Greenall "abused the trust" of the company she worked for with her actions. A mum's "addiction to TikTok" has resulted in her being sent to prison after she stole almost half a million pounds from her employer. Katherine Greenall, 29, was employed by technology company New Reg Ltd, which "specialises in purchasing vehicles for private and commercial clients", from 2021. A promotion in 2022 saw her become an accounts manager, which meant she had access to company bank accounts, Liverpool Crown Court heard on Friday, June 6. ‌ The mum-of-two from St Helens, Merseyside, went on to commit a "significant abuse of trust" in manipulating financial reports, allowing her to deposit vast sums into her own accounts over the course of more than a year. ‌ She spent most of it on TikTok tokens, which were gifted to content creators for her own "amusement and entertainment". She also splashed out on holidays, hotels and multiple personal purchases from Amazon, supermarkets and other retailers. Appearing in the dock, she wiped her tears away as she was sentenced to 28 months behind bars, after admitting to fraud by abuse of position, the Liverpool ECHO reports. Prosecutor Christopher Taylor described how Greenall had been praised for being a "vital part of the company's growth", "very organised and capable" and "both trusted and respected". However, her scheming saw her make a total of 53 unauthorised deposits to the tune of £57,036 in 2023, according to an analysis of her bank statements. However, her actions would only worsen in early 2024. In January, she made four deposits totalling £8,917, then another 10 in February amounting to £14,916. In March she made a shocking 20 payments worth £146,288, and incredibly, a further 31 in April, which added up to £196,264.26. ‌ Eventually, senior management at the company became suspicious after smaller than expected profits were raised with Greenall during a meeting with one of its directors on May 1. Despite promising to look into the issue, she returned to her desk and made a "final deposit" to her own account of £20,000 before leaving the office, claiming what was a "false family illness". Greenall, called Katie by her colleagues, would later "admit her criminality" in another meeting on May 7, and was arrested on May 13. However, in her police interview, she was "emotional", claiming she "not been living a lavish lifestyle" and all she had in her bank account was £700. She explained how the "deposits started small", and were "used to fund household purchases". It was later that she "started using the stolen money to fund TikTok payments", gifting tokens to creators. ‌ She described it as having "become an obsession" which came "at a time when she was low". She said she would send the coins to "random" accounts as it "made her feel better", but would "return to a number of particular creators". In total, she siphoned £443,523.26 from the company over 121 separate transactions. £301,162.55 was spent on the tokens, leaving £142,360.71 which was "spent by the defendant on other things". Her actions have reportedly "jeopardised the future" of the company, which has been in business since 1995, and put over 30 of her ex-colleagues at risk of redundancy due to the losses incurred. ‌ Paul Becker, defending, said that Greenall, who has no previous convictions, "may have been suffering from a form of addiction to TikTok", but stated that she had "no formal diagnosis to such an addiction". It is believed her children, a six-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son, who has severe ADHD, will be cared for by her sister, a nursery worker, during her time in prison. ‌ Mr Becker added: "This is fraud on a massive scale. It started out for personal matters. It was not TikTok initially, but it is right to say that the bulk of the fraud went towards TiKTok. "It started off otherwise, and it became TikTok.

Judge Neil Flewitt KC, sentencing Greenall, said: "You are 29 years of age and of previous good character. You are a good mum to two young children, one of whom has particular challenges. You were trusted and respected. Your employers were aware of the challenges that you faced at home and made allowed allowances. "You repaid their trust in you by stealing from them on a massive scale. Over a period from January 2023 to the beginning of May 2024, you stole almost £450,000. You covered you what you were doing by manipulating documents that were used for accounting purposes by the company, and you put that money into your own bank account. ‌ "It started on a smaller scale. Things escalated on a grander scale in 2024. Having been made aware that the company was concerned, you did something which makes this worse. You went back to your desk and took another £20,000. "As I understand it, it is possible to make payment through tokens to content creators on TikTok to show your appreciation to them for the entertainment that they provide. If the information I have been given is correct, part of that goes to the platform. I make no comment about the morality of all of that, but that seems to be where a substantial amount of this money has gone. "But not all of it. From February 2024, there were 235 payments to TikTok totalling just over £300,000. That leaves over £142,000 that did not go to TikTok. You cannot possibly have needed all of that money just to buy day to day items. Some of it must have gone on extravagant spending. ‌ "I do accept that you must have been getting some form of escape from pressures at home by watching this content, that it may have been some sort of release for you. While there is no medical evidence that this became some form of addiction, I recognise that it became a pattern that was difficult to cast aside. "You jeopardised the business and its future trading. More particularly, you put at risk the jobs of your fellow workers because, at one stage, it was thought that some of them might have to be made redundant. That is a serious aggravating feature. "I accept that you are genuinely remorseful. You have found yourself work. I have read references from your mother, father, sister and friend and have read a lot about your two children. "It is a matter of regret that I have a public duty which I have to fulfil. It is a tragedy that those children are going to suffer as a result of your dishonesty. I have taken the view that there is simply no way to avoid what I am sure you have been advised is the inevitable sentence of imprisonment. This is simply too much money and too much damage caused here."

My girlfriend dumped me after she had several affairs – and is lying to friends and family that I'm the cheater

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEAR DEIDRE: MY lazy girlfriend spent all day on TikTok and social media, while I worked, cleaned the house and looked after the kids. Now I've learned she was constantly setting up new hook-ups and conducting several affairs. I'm not even sure if both my children are actually mine, or if I've been bringing up one of her lovers' kids. Talk about disrespect. Now she has thrown me out and told everyone I'm the one who has been cheating on her, so they think I'm the bad guy. I don't know what to do. I'm 42 and she's 40. We've been together for 12 years and have two children, aged ten and eight. If I'm honest, she treated me badly from the start. She often lied about where she was going, met up with exes who she pretended were just friends and secretly messaged other men. But she was always ready with a good excuse and she used her charms to reel me back in. We only had sex when she wanted it, the way she wanted it. She'd use it to control me. A couple of years after we had our first baby, a man turned up saying the boy was his. I was gutted as, by then, I loved the child. She denied it, of course. After that, we had patches where things were OK, but then she'd start being secretive again. If I said anything it would end up in a huge, nasty row. Dear Deidre After Dark- Understanding open relationships Last week, out of the blue, she told me to pack my stuff and leave. She accused me of having an affair — which is ridiculous, as there is no time, with a full-time job, housework and all the childcare. She has told her friends and family the same story, so they hate me. She said she'd just started seeing someone else. I think she has actually been seeing him for months. I feel like I've been used, chewed up and spat out. But if I tell people the truth they won't believe me. Please help. DEIDRE SAYS: You've been in an abusive relationship with a woman who sounds like a narcissist. She gaslit you – and everyone else – and now it sounds like she's moved on to her next prey. This is not your fault. You're a good man who has tried to do your best for your family. You need support for your emotional health, advice to make sure you continue to have a relationship with your children and that you get what you're legally entitled to. Don't worry about what others think. I'm sure they're aware of what she's really like. My support pack, Abusive Partner, will show you where to get help.

Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. Thank you for advice when my guy faced a trial DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my partner faced imprisonment, leaving me and our three children to manage alone, I was petrified. He was charged with assault and due to stand trial. I believed he was innocent, but we were warned he could face several years in prison. I'm in my mid-40s and we have been together since we were teenagers. The long lead-up to the trial was making me so anxious, and I didn't know how I'd be able to cope if he was sent down. But I couldn't tell him how worried I was as I didn't want to upset him more. I knew I needed to stay strong for our kids and stop feeling so depressed and weepy, so I wrote to you for advice. You were so understanding, telling me I needed support and shouldn't keep my feelings inside. You recommended I contact a charity called Prisoners' Families ( 0808 808 2003) who could guide me through what to expect, and be there for me. I appreciated that you didn't patronise me, acknowledging that simply saying 'don't worry' wasn't going to help. You sent me your support pack on Coping With Stress, which showed me ways to relax. Although I am still very anxious, I now feel better able to cope. Thank you Deidre. DEIDRE SAYS: I'm glad that my advice helped – but you're stronger than you think. Remember, there is support out there if your partner does go to prison. HURT BY HIS SEX TALK WITH EX, BUT I WANT TO REUNITE DEAR DEIDRE: I BROKE up with my boyfriend because he told his ex intimate details about our relationship, but now I'm wondering if I made a big mistake. I'm not sure if I can trust him, but I miss and love him. We're both in our late 20s and were together for 11 months. As our relationship developed, he sent out strong signals that he was thinking about marriage and was going to propose. But then I found out he was still good friends with his ex. She has a new partner, so I wasn't jealous, but I did feel uncomfortable. One day, a message from her flashed up on his WhatsApp. It asked if he'd had any more luck getting me into bed. I was horrified and humiliated, and had a massive row with my boyfriend, which led to us breaking up. We got back together, but after that I found it hard to trust him. He admitted he didn't want to give up his friendship with his ex. He also said that he wasn't ready to get married, and didn't know if he ever would be. I decided to end the relationship again. Now I'm not sure I did the right thing. I can't stop thinking about him. DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like your ex boyfriend wasn't as happy about waiting for sex as he'd first appeared. It was wrong of him to share intimate details with his ex, but perhaps he needed to talk to someone he trusted. In a way, it's good he's been honest now and made it clear he isn't ready for marriage. It also sounds like he's not completely over his ex. If marriage is what you want, then perhaps it's better for you to find someone who shares your values and is ready for that commitment. If you get back together, the same issues will inevitably crop up again. It would be helpful for you to talk this through with a counsellor. TEENAGE TROUBLES DEAR DEIDRE: ONE of my mates believes I'm her best friend, but I find her spoiled and annoying. Three of us hang out together, but it's the other girl who's really my best pal, and she just gets in the way. We're all 16 and at school together. Last weekend, she got upset because she didn't want to go to a particular shop, so my best friend and I just went together. She says we should have included her and gone somewhere else. It's causing stress. What should I do? DEIDRE SAYS: Friendship groups can be tricky, as someone is always going to feel excluded. She sounds insecure. Maybe she's aware you prefer your other friend. Try to explain, kindly. But if things don't get better, you might need to distance yourself from her. My support pack, Rows With Friends, should help.
