Laurence Fox livestreams row with London bus driver after car and double
Lawrence Fox has been seen shouting at a bus driver after being involved in car collision on Saturday in footage that emerged online.
The actor and political activist filmed himself swearing at the driver after a silver Audi crashed with a red double decker London bus.
Video shows the bus driver exiting his vehicle on a busy road south of the capital following the incident, before he is berated by Mr Fox. The driver is seen to be on the phone and appears to be explaining what happened to the person he is speaking to.
The 46-year-old, who appeared to be travelling with a companion, told the driver: 'Sorry boss, you're in a lane. There's a lane here.
'We're in the lane and you just crashed into our lane. That's what happened.

The crash smashed one of the rear doors of the red double decker bus, with both men blaming each other for the incident
It comes a month after Mr Fox was ordered to pay £180,000 to two people he referred to as 'pedophiles' in an online spat
'You can drive in that lane, and what you've done is just destroyed a car.'
Both men were blaming each other for the crash. Pictures showed one of the rear doors of the red smashed by the impact, with numerous shards of glass on the roadside.
Fox, who founded the right-wing Reclaim Party, is then told by the bus driver to 'sit down in your car please'.
The politician then launched into another tirade, shouting 'No, don't tell me what to do. I'll sit wherever the f*** I want'.
He added: 'You smashed our car up. Just go away guys.'
The driver, while speaking on the phone to report his incident to his company, answers back: 'You smashed my windscreen.'
Internet sleuths who watched the video ran an online check on the number plate seen in the footage, that appeared to be the car Mr Fox had been in.
Screenshots showed that the MOT on the car seen in the video had expired in April, according to the government's website.
It was not clear how or when the incident had happened.
It was also unknown whether the vehicle belonged to Mr Fox or to the companion he appeared to be with.

It comes a month after the activist was ordered by a court to pay £180,000 in damages following an online row with Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal, whose full name is Colin Seymour.
Mr Fox referred to the pair as 'pedophiles' in a fiery discussion about Sainsbury's decision to mark Black History Month in October 2020.
The actor vowed to appeal the verdict, which he labelled 'so surreal it's almost funny'.
Mrs Justice Collins Rice said his comments were 'distinctively homophobic' and that he had catapulted Mr Blake and Mr Seymour into an 'exposing and polarised' national news story.
