A pair of drivers were photographed having a heated standoff on a narrow Leeds bridge during rush hour.
A man, who did not wish to be named, raged about how the pair were "pratting about" beeping their horns and holding up other motorists in Boston Spa, on the bridge towards Thorpe Arch at 4.51pm today (March 16), in the LS23 North Leeds district.
He's said the intense standoff on Bridge Road felt like it lasted for "two hours", even though it was more like five to 10 minutes. He'd had a busy day and "could have done without it".

Speaking to Leeds Live, the man said: "I recall shouting out 'stop pratting about' after waiting patiently for several minutes. It’s the main bridge from Boston Spa to Thorpe Arch. It felt like two hours. Was probably more like five to ten minutes.
"After a first trip to a nursing home, then a potential future care home and then a fifth visit to the vets, I could have done without it."
Taking to social media to share the astonishing sight, the man posted the photograph on public Facebook Group Boston Spa Grumblers.
He said: "Nothing like a Mexican stand off, between two grumblers in the middle of the bridge, stuck in the Boston Spa rush hour, to liven up the day."
Asked who eventually 'won', he replied: "The 'leaving-Boston-Spa-car' [the car closest to the camera]. The 'leaving-Thorpe-Arch-car' eventually gave in and started reversing very, very, very slowly and then got out and took a photograph. That will show them!"
