LAST WEEK, A YouTube user named Steve Midz uploaded a video of a verbal altercation he had with a driver.
In the video, we see a driver get into an argument with a man riding a moped. It quickly escalates and turns into a full-blown row.
But one exchange in particular has captured the internet’s imagination.
At one point, the driver plays the “Do you know who I am?” card.
And yells, “I’m Ronnie Pickering!”
And now the internet is obsessed with him.
There have been countless Vines…

And tweets.
And memes.
And comedy polls.
In short, Ronnie Pickering has broken the internet.
For his part, Pickering claims that the moped driver in question acted like a “muppet” and “encroached into [his] safety gap” on the road.
But the 54-year-old taxi driver told the Hull Daily Mail that he accepted that he might have overreacted.
To be really honest, I was out of order. It was an over-reaction. If you look at the video, there’s no doubting that it looks bad. But you have to understand that this was an extreme provocation.
He also maintains that he is “easy-going” and not the “monster” he is portrayed as in the video.
Do you know what else he is?
