A BT engineer was sacked after calling a female motorist a "silly cow" and "squaring up to her" during a road rage incident, a tribunal heard.
Colin Aldred, from the North West, was driving his work BT Openreach van when he had a near miss which resulted in him shouting a "torrent of foul language" at the woman.
Mr Aldred then got out of his car and the woman said he "squared up to me in quite an aggressive manner".
