A video has captured a Bay of Plenty family's terrifying road-rage experience after they were targeted by an enraged driver who repeatedly rammed their vehicle on a state highway.
The video was posted on social media by a person who said his uncle had been driving between Rotorua and Te Puke on Tuesday afternoon when a man in a white Mazda ute started ramming the back of their vehicle.
"Takes a lot for my uncle to become physically shaken but this incident certainly did just that."
The occupants of the vehicle were clearly distressed as the ute repeatedly hit them before overtaking - and narrowly avoiding being hit by an oncoming truck in the process.
