This is the moment a road rage driver who went viral for screaming abuse at a female motorist launched another foul-mouthed tirade at a woman.
Peter Abbott, 62, was cycling along Bournemouth beach when he angrily started shouting at the mother with her newborn baby, after confronting him for hitting her dog.
Abbott got off his bike and started hurling abuse at the woman and a passerby who was attempting to diffuse the angry situation.
In one clip recorded during his beachfront outburst, Abbott can be heard screaming: ‘Shut the f*** up or I’ll kick you up the a***. F*** off, p****!’
He then went to cycle away, but, before long, climbed off his bike again to shout at a couple who had also stopped to help.
In a second clip of the incident he can be heard saying: ‘There was a woman with about five dogs running all over the place.’
When the man tries to speak, Abbott starts shouting: ‘I’m not f***ing finished!’
The man tells him he should look where he is going on his bike, prompting Abbott to scream: ‘Shut the f*** up you p****, if you want a kick up the a*** you’re going the right way about it.’
He can be heard adding: ‘What you going to do about it, you weed?’
During Abbott’s outburst, a woman who is behind the camera can be heard saying ‘disgusting’ in response to his behaviour.
In the latest incident, Abbott was again caught on camera in the middle of a tirade against a mother with her newborn baby
Road rage driver Peter Abbott was filmed screaming at mother-of-three Samantha Isaacs outside a Tesco petrol station in Bournemouth, Dorset, on August 25 2023

Abbott has now been jailed. At the time of the incident he was still serving the suspended prison sentence for his viral outburst against the woman in the Tesco car park in August 2023.
During the first incident, he was similarly filmed banging on motorist Samantha Isaac’s windscreen with his fists, calling her a ‘f****** tart’, a ‘b****’ and a ‘w****’.
He was sentenced in May 2024, avoiding jail time and instead being told he needed to take an anger management course.
The recent beach incident meant Abbott was in breach of his suspended sentence and he was jailed by magistrates in Poole for six weeks.
District Judge Orla Austin said: ‘This is another episode of rage taken out on the public.
‘I’d like to know why he feels entitled to tell members of the public to shut the f*** up and shout and enrage at them.’
The court heard that Abbott had been cycling behind his latest female victim, before going ‘straight into’ her dog, prosecutor Laura Lohk said.
She continued: ‘He then got off his bike and started shouting and swearing at the victim initially and then started shouting at everyone around.
‘A member of the public saw what was happening in front of her and started recording.’
Video footage filmed by Mrs Isaacs showed Abbot shouted at her: ‘Can you f**king see me?’

Ms Lohk told the court: ‘The complainant says the defendant was very aggressive, shouting and swearing. She said the dog wasn’t running around, the dog was under her control and is well behaved.
‘She said ‘I was terrified, the cyclist was so aggressive, he wasn’t forming sentences that made sense. It just seemed like pure rage’.’
Dorset Police issued an appeal with an image of the angry cyclist and Abbott was arrested a few weeks later.
Abbott pleaded guilty to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour to cause fear, distress or alarm.
The offence cannot be dealt with by imprisonment but by committing the crime Abbott had breached his suspended sentence for the previous road rage incident.
Katherine Toth, defending, said: ‘He was not cycling fast along the promenade, because he knows children and other pedestrians can veer suddenly.
‘There were four or five dogs off the lead, chasing each other around and out of control.
‘The dog of the complainant ran in front of his front wheel, because he had disc brakes he managed to stop without making contact.
‘He carried on cycling but the complainant shouted something at him. He assumed she was the owner and decided to turn around to tell her the dog should be on a lead.
‘The complainant wasn’t listening to him. He accepts he reacted to her but did not actually swear at the complainant, he only swore when approached by another member of the public he was intimidated by.
‘He’s not trying to minimise his behaviour. He understands he should have just carried on cycling.
‘He regrets his decision to confront her and any other member of the public. He clearly understands what he did was wrong.
‘He was struggling with loneliness and isolation and using cycling and yoga to cope with his loneliness. He has made a change, he’s trying to manage his anger better.’
Ms Toth said Abbott had completed an anger management course as part of his sentence and had not been in trouble since this beach incident, which was more than a year ago.
She added: ‘It would be unjust to activate. It’s been over a year since the offence, there is a realistic prospect of rehabilitation.’
But the judge disagreed and said Abbott could not simply go around venting his anger at the public.
She said: ‘It was an extreme example of rage which had a significant impact on the victim, that’s why a suspended sentence was imposed, on the terms of you not committing any further offending.’
She told him: ‘While I understand in relation to rehabilitation you have done well, what’s happened here in December 2024, some months after your suspended sentence.
‘You are disqualified from driving, you’re now cycling and at the promenade you come into contact with members of the public.
‘There were children present – the complainant who was walking her newborn baby with her dog and another lady filming.
‘You were very angry, shouting ‘shut the f*** up’. You’re shouting and swearing, causing people considerable concern in terms of whether they were going to be assaulted.
‘I accept you have completed anger management and I also accept the new offence could not attract a custodial sentence, nonetheless given the time of that episode and the degree of similarity I do activate the suspended sentence.
‘It is very regrettable to arrive in this position, but here we are. I will not have you abusing and frightening members of the public in this way.’
Abbott, a self-employed translator from Bournemouth, was sent to prison for six weeks and ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs.
