Mr Turnbull, who was driving behind another vehicle, also entered the slip road and had to stop behind the two cars.
The driver of the hatchback, who was shirtless, got out of the car and walked up to Mr Turnbull’s ute carrying what appeared to be a hookah in one hand.
“You got a fucking bong in your hand, buddy,” Mr. Turbull says in the clip.
The two drivers then got into a heated argument when the driver of the hatchback repeatedly swore at Mr Turnbull before returning to his car and driving away.
At one point, a woman in the man’s car got out of the car and started shouting and making gestures at Mr Turnbull.
