A FUMING cyclist filmed himself having a blazing row with a motorist about who had the right of way after they had a near-miss.

Jakob Lawrence and the oncoming car narrowly passed each other between parked vehicles - with both insisting they had right of way.

Jakob, who was not wearing a helmet, narrowly avoided being because of his belief that the motorist should have stopped for him.

The 19-year-old stuck out his had to demonstrate how close the car was to him.

The female driver stops her car to confront Jakob, who says: "What are you doing forcing your way through?"

The woman replies: "How am I? Who had the right of way?"

Jakob later alerts the woman to the fact he is filming her, and says: "It's on camera. Search your registration number on YouTube tonight."

The woman replies: "Oh fabulous. It's people like you who give cyclists a bad name"

Jakob records his journeys on a chest-mounted camera and publishes some of his encounters on YouTube.

The student, of Hull, East Yorks, said: "I was already through that pinch point.

"To exaggerate the situation, I put my arm out to see if it would brush past her car.
"It is an idiot proof way of saying you are too close. I didn't make contact, but she thought I did. She slammed on her breaks and gets out and starts shouting."

The argument is one of a string of videos of his travels to and from Hull College that Jakob has posted on to his YouTube channel CycleHull which he launched last year.

He says he tries to post a video a month of his experiences on Hull's roads and it has been well-received on social media.
He added: "I first started about a month after starting college last year about October time.

"First of all it was the amount of near-misses I was having every day.

"Since January, I started doing more editing and having a more light-hearted approach and people have started taking it well."
