South Australian driver caught after wild Brooklyn Park, Adelaide road rage incident
A driver has received multiple violation reports after a videotaped wild incident on the road became a wider investigation.
Video of the incident, which saw the driver of a black Ford sedan chase a food delivery driver on a scooter on Henley Beach Rd in Brooklyn Park in Adelaide’s west last week, went viral, prompting police to investigate.
Although it is not known what led to the incident, the Ford was seen driving close behind the scooter driver as he swerved to avoid being hit.
The scooter driver swerved from one lane to another and tried to avoid the car before driving in front of a third vehicle to get out of reach.
Screams came from the black Ford after the scooter sped away.
Traffic officers attended the Hendon address of the owner to whom the vehicle was registered to make inquiries about the incident.
They stopped the car in question as it approached the home.
The 23-year-old female driver tested positive for cannabis and police checks revealed that her driving license had expired.
“She was also reported for traffic violations in connection with the Brooklyn Park incident, including heavy driving without due care, driving without a license, failing to drive within the marked lane and failing to stop at a yellow signal,” an SA spokesperson said Police.

She would have to appear in court “at a later date,” the spokesperson said.
Not only was she reported for the alleged offences, but the car was also raided and impounded for 28 days.
South African police have warned motorists that they “could be filmed anywhere, anytime – dramatically increasing the chance of being caught.”
“The police will follow up on dangerous or criminal acts and take action where necessary,” a spokesperson said.
‘There are many occasions where vision has been provided to police or we have been referred to social media sites to assess vision for dangerous driving.’
