L-plater attacked with traffic cone reveals what sparked road rage outburst
A Perth teenager was behind the wheel for the first time, when the "classy" passenger of a BMW behind erupted with rage.
The woman attacked the L-plater behind the wheel in a bizarre outburst, yelling out expletives and hurling a traffic cone in their direction.
The L-plater behind the wheel, Aleyna Helvaci, 16, was accompanied by a professional driving instructor when the ugly incident occurred after she accidentally stalled at a busy intersection.
“She was just full out wild, I turned (the car) back on, put my foot on the clutch, and everything was ready," Helvaci told 7 NEWS.
“I was going to take off, but before I could there was a really loud horn.”
Footage of the interaction went viral after the teen's mum posted the outburst on TikTok.
“F*** you” the woman screamed as she stormed down the road in front of standstill traffic before pretending to chuck her handbag in the car's direction.
She then reaches for a nearby traffic cone and hurls it at the car.
“F***ing sl**, move on up!” she screamed before storming back to her own car - its horn still blaring at the teen.
At one point, the equally enraged male driver held the horn down for nine seconds straight, as the person calmly filming the incident is told to note down the plate number.
The woman eventually sits back down in her car, but doesn't stop screaming expletives at the teen.
When they finally merged right to flee the scene, the driver got in on the action himself, honking his horn and flipping his middle finger at the teen.
The video racked up thousands of views on TikTok before it was removed, a number of people have slammed the SUV owner's “disgusting behaviour”, adding that “we were all learners at one stage”.
“Absolutely disgusting behaviour. I am so sick of this sh*t. Control your anger and grow up!” one commented.
“This is so bad! It’s always the ones with the rich cars too hey … Y’all so 'classy,'" wrote another.
Helvaci's family has since filed a police report and the teen told 7News that it would take some time before she felt safe behind the wheels again.
“It is all about building confidence in the end, so this is all part of the experience,” she said.
