On seeing this, a pedestrian picked up the cups and placed them on the front of the car, while telling the driver in no uncertain terms that littering is an offence. The driver responded by jumping out of his seat and grabbing a baseball bat from the rear of his car, threatening the pedestrian while using similar language.

    British men are 6.4% more likely than British women to pass their practical driving test, according to road safety charity the IAM. But while young men are more likely to pass their driving test, they are also three times more likely to be killed or seriously injured (KSI) behind the wheel. The IAM findings are a result of analysing pass rates statistics from the Department for Transport (DfT) published in August 2012 for the financial year 2011-2012.
