A HOT-HEADED caravanner tailgated and flashed his high beams at a motorist in front of him for going too slow.
Ipswich Magistrates Court heard the other driver braked suddenly, causing Michael Broadhead to brake hard.
When the other driver went into a rest area off the Bruce Highway near Gin Gin, Broadhead followed.
Broadhead then confronted the driver with an axe, saying: "I will f**king axe you, you f**king dog," the court heard.
The incident was filmed and the frightened driver reported it to police.
A very apologetic Broadhead now concedes that he may have been wrong about the slow speed because of a tyre issue with his own four-wheel drive.
