WATCH: Trucker forces cars onto the PAVEMENT after blocking their way at temporary lights
THIS is the moment an "arrogant" trucker caused chaos at a roadblock by forcing oncoming cars onto the footpath.
Impatient trucker causes roadblock chaos
The driver was then seen reversing out of the way - before shooting through a red light.
The crazy scenes were captured by mother-of-one Claire Linnet when she stopped at a set of temporary traffic lights in Duston, Northamptonshire.
She claims the dusty pick-up truck ignored a sign asking vehicles to wait at the lights while the road was reduced to one lane to allow work on overhanging trees.
At first the truck blocked the lane by stopping so close to the lights that three oncoming cars had to mount the pavement to squeeze past.
The driver was then seen reversing back behind Mrs Linnet's car so that the rest of the traffic could safely pass by, which meant she was unable to go forward while the lights were green.
But as the lights turned red again, the truck shot back into sight and ran straight through, leaving a workman visibly exasperated.
Mrs Linnet, 39, said: "When I pulled up the lights had just gone red and I was at the front of the traffic.
"I stopped where the sign said to but the truck driver was really arrogant and pulled in in front of me for some reason.

"It was really dangerous. Cars were going on the pavement while there were people trying to walk past.
"There was next to no room left on the road because of the truck. It wasn't like he couldn't see all the cones and the lights.
"It seemed like he realised he was in the wrong when he reversed back behind me, but then as soon as he saw a gap he was away again.
"He went straight through the red light. It was madness. His impatience was infuriating for me and clearly for the workmen as well."

Mrs Linnet had just collected her 11-year-old son Owen from school when she stopped at the lights with her dashcam recording.
She said the pair were frightened that the truck driver might reverse into her because of his "reckless" behaviour.
Mrs Linnet, whose 39-year-old husband Robert is an HGV driver, said: "We were shocked by it all.
"We were just praying he wouldn't swerve towards us. It was obvious the guys working on the road weren't too impressed either.
"To be honest I was almost glad when he went through the red light and was out of sight."
