Woman gives driver stick after wading into traffic jam bust-up
MOTORISTS stuck in a traffic jam watched in horror as a woman went berserk with a baseball bat at another driver.
The bust-up, which was caught on a driver’s dash cam, began when a man leaped from a red car to confront another motorist.
He appeared to drag his target, who was in a black car, from the driver’s seat before the pair squared up to each other with fists raised.
But the driver of the black car turned and fled when he saw the woman thundering towards him waving a baseball bat above her head.
She stopped when motorist, Justin Littlewood stood in her way.
Justin, 26, who captured the drama in Dewsbury, West Yorks, said: “As she went back she was screaming, ‘Nick the car, take it!’ but then they got in and drove off.”
It is believed the two families have been involved in a feud.
West Yorkshire Police said: “We are aware of the incident.” SUNGLASSES should be replaced every two years as they give less protection against UV rays over time.
Sunlight degrades the lenses, making them weaker, Brazilian researchers said.
Lack of protection could damage the cornea and the internal structure of the eye, they warned. Calling for new standards in testing shades, Prof Liliane Ventura of Sao Paulo University said: “Lenses should provide adequate UV filters.”
Current tests expose shades to the equivalent of just two days’ sun.
