A driver appearing to text on his phone with both hands got the fright of his life when a passing motorcyclist tapped on his window to tell him to stop.
The high-speed manoeuvre drew both praise and criticism when it appeared in a compilation video on the Dash Cam Owners Australia Youtube feed.
In the clip the motorcyclist can be seen veering quickly to the driver's window as they both travel along a freeway.
The biker then taps three times quickly on the window and points at the man's mobile phone, which the driver appears to be holding in both hands as he writes a text.
The startled driver looks up at the bike rider but it's not clear he stops texting as the motorcyclist refocuses on joining his riding partner on the road ahead.
The majority of people commenting on the video thought the rider's actions were perfectly justified.
'That motorcyclist is a legend. Drivers using their phones without a hands-free system are a menace on the roads,' one person commented on the clip.
'I can't believe how many drivers I see using their phone when I'm out on the bike,' another responded.
