Angry pedestrian pays the price for not looking where they are going

Road rage appeared to have affected the passer-by

It’s not often that pedestrians suffer from road rage, but it can happen from time to time.

That appeared to be the case for one dog-walker in Adelaide, Australia, who was recently caught on a car’s dashcam.

The video shows the pedestrian becoming angry at a driver, although it’s unclear what has infuriated him.

As the driver approaches a set of lights and slows to a halt, the man walking his dog starts crossing the road and angrily gestures to the person behind the wheel.

However, he fails to pay attention to where he’s going – taking far more interest in shouting at the motorist – and walks straight into a lamppost at the side of the road.

Further enraged by his misfortune, the man approaches the car with a clenched fist, but then chooses to leave the scene rather than escalate the confrontation.

It’s still unclear as to why the pedestrian got so angry with the driver; the motorist didn’t approach the junction at any real speed, and they can’t be seen to do anything to provoke the man either.
