M56,Hazel Grove,Courts

'If somebody had been killed, I would be sending you to prison for a very long time indeed', he was told

An angry driver chased after another motorist, forcing her to stop in the middle lane of a motorway - before jumping on the bonnet of her car during a road rage row. Craig Prunty, 39, brought traffic to a halt when he threw a temper tantrum at the wheel his his BMW 5 Series after he crashed into a set of road bollards when the victim pulled out in front of him.

A court heard Prunty got out of his car again and shook his fist whilst stood in the carriageway. The victim drove off, but Prunty jumped onto the bonnet of her moving car then fell into the road. The court was told police had to close two lanes of the motorway, causing delays, whilst Prunty was treated for an injured leg and taken to hospital.

In his plea basis he said the blue car pulled in front of him, forcing him to take 'evasive action'. It was then, he said, he hit the cones. His plea basis said: ''When I came across the blue vehicle it was in the middle lane and vehicles were undertaking the driver and other vehicles were behind her. I drove up to the side of her and beeped my horn, my window was down. I was not aggressive but I confirmed that she would need to pull over and she just laughed at me and I could see that she was mothing the words 'f**k off” and she also gestured this.
