A pair of the world’s most stubborn drivers have battled it out on the streets, leaving the internet divided.
A green sedan and a white electrician’s van fought for control of a lane while merging on Ngauranga Gorge Road, Wellington, New Zealand.
Neither motorist was prepared to give way as they drove perilously close to one another, driving side-by-side squeezed into the same lane.

After a brief tussle the sedan was forced behind the van, which moved ahead and drove close behind the vehicle in front.
Not prepared to give up, the driver of the sedan turned on their indicator and tried to cut in front of the van.
The van driver stubbornly refused to let the sedan in, and the two briefly shared the lane again before the sedan fell back.

The video ended with the sedan driving close behind the van, while the driver of the larger vehicle gestured out the window.
Reaction to the stubborn display of driving has divided the internet, polarising opinions on Facebook.
Some believed the van driver was at fault, writing: ‘If you know the area the van is actually in the wrong because he actually came from the left which is an off ramp to a suburb’.
‘Looks more like the blue car should have dropped back for the van,’ said another user.
Others took the sedan’s side, saying: ‘Who’s in the wrong here? I’m picking the van’.
‘Dude in the car should have jumped out and caved van man’s head in,’ wrote someone else.
Many social media users were not impressed with either driver, saying both were at fault, and complaining they see similar behavior far too often on Wellington’s roads.
