A MOTORIST whose foul-mouthed abuse of another driver went viral has been warned he faces jail after the clip was played in court.
Samantha Isaacs locked her doors and began filming as Peter Abbott banged on her windscreen and screamed abuse at her.

Shocking footage showed grey-haired Abbott leering into the front window of the car and spitting with anger as he shouted: “Do you see me you f****** tart?”
The footage was shown at Poole Magistrates’ Court in Dorset where Abbott went on trial for using threatening words or behaviour to cause alarm, distress or fear of violence.
Abbott, now 60, was found guilty after a trial, reports Mail Online.
District Judge Orla Austin warned Abbott, of Bournemouth, that he faces a prison sentence because this was the “most serious “of this type of offence and he had put the victim through a trial despite “overwhelming evidence.”
Mrs Isaacs told the court that the incident had left her frightened when out in the car on her own.
She said that she always kept the car doors locked , dashcam on and avoided driving on her own when possible.
Mrs Isaacs told the court that she encountered Abbott on August 25 last year as she was leaving the petrol station at Tesco Extra in Bournemouth, Dorset.
After Abbott pulled out in front of her she was forced to break sharply.
She then sounded her horn, which promoted Abbott to get out of his Toyota and approach her car.
The mum-of-three told the court that she filmed Abbott’s abuse to try and make him stop shouting at her.
He claimed that he confronted Mrs Isaacs because she appeared to be “laughing at him.”
He also took exception to being filmed which he claimed was an invasion of his privacy.
Last year The Sun was tipped off to Abbott’s identity by a reader and we confronted him at his luxury apartment block a stone’s throw from the town’s famous sandy beach where flats go for up to £800,000.
Furious Abbott refused to speak about the incident but launched into a foul-mouthed rant, screaming at our female reporter to “f*** off”.
Questioned as he drove back into his palm tree-lined apartment block in his Toyota Avensis, Abbott railed: “Just stay away from me. Get away from me.”
Asked if we could have a comment on the road rage incident, he replied: “No you can’t” before shouting: “Now go, go, leave.”
As our reporter got into her car to leave he stood up against the window shouting angrily: “F*** off and go.”
Sentencing was adjourned until later this month for probation to assess Abbott.
