This is the terrifying moment a crazed driver forced a motorcyclists off his bike as he dangerously weaved through traffic at speed.
The driver’s reckless driving led to the closure of the A13 near Canning Town for some time leading to travel chaos in east London.
In dash cam footage posted to X, formerly Twitter, a person can be seen driving at high speed along the busy A road, which connects east London with Essex.
The driver, behind the wheel of a Volkswagen estate, dangerously zig-zags in and out of traffic, narrowly missing fellow motorist.
This is just before they cause a motorcyclist to fall off their bike after they are forced to drive into another lane in order not to hit the Volkswagen.

Eventually, the driver causes the motorcyclist to fall off their bike after they are forced to drive into another lane in order not to hit the Volkswagen
After the motorcyclist falls off his bike, the driver does not stop and instead brazenly drives off continuing to weave in and out of lanes
The video then cuts to show the aftermath of the incident with the motorcyclist lying on the road with his bike a few metres away. They can be heard seemingly crying out in pain while the surrounding traffic is brought to a standstill

In another video posted to Tik Tok yesterday, the same stretch of road can be seen closed off by the police with large queues of gridlocked traffic bringing travel chaos to the area.
X users reacting to the first video also claimed that a vehicle registration check with the DVLA shows that no vehicle details can be found on the site.
In a statement the Metropolitan Police told MailOnline: ‘At around 1.35pm police were in pursuit of a car that had failed to stop on the A13 eastbound.
‘The pursuit was terminated due to the manner of the suspect vehicle’s driving. At around 2.40pm officers found the car had been involved in a collision with a motorcycle at Newham Way.
‘The motorcyclist was taken to hospital, where his condition was later assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing. Road closures were in place while debris was cleared.
Enquiries to trace the driver of the car are ongoing.’
