This is the shocking moment that a racist Mercedes driver shouted 'monkey' at another motorist.

The road rage incident broke out on a residential street in west London after a man driving a silver 4x4 refused to move his car out of the way for other motorists. 

Tailbacks quickly develop, with several cars and a van left stationary and unable to get through as the man will not reverse back down the road.

The footage shows one man asking the driver to let the others get past, while another points out that his is the only vehicle coming from that direction.

The slur 'monkey' is considered among the most offensive racial insults, and is sometimes directed at black football players in Spain and Italy.
