Adnan Hussain, 25, said he was “traumatised” following the incident where trucker Nicholas Clayton, 51, had called him a “P*ki bastard” and said “You stink like sh*t.”

Clayton was found guilty of causing alarm or distress by using threatening or insulting words in an incident that was racially and religiously aggravated.

In the shocking video, recorded after his vicious rant, Clayton nods and agrees when Adnan accuses him of using racist language.

Adnan, who has since left his role at the NHS, said he had stopped at some traffic lights in the Grimesthorpe area of Sheffield, Yorks., when Clayton had first approached him.

During the video, which Adnan filmed, Clayton accepted using the racist language before asking his friend: “Why did he drive like an idiot?”

Last week, the trucker received a fine at Sheffield Magistrates court after being found guilty of causing alarm or distress by using threatening or insulting words - in an incident that was racially and religiously aggravated.

Recalling the incident after the hearing, Adnan said: “I was just shocked, I was traumatised that someone had just come to my car and said that to me in the middle of traffic.”
