You apparently don’t need to drive a car or be in a vehicle to start a road rage incident.

Investigators with Guelph Police Service were called to a parking lot on Speedvale Avenue West around 8:30 a.m. Friday.

They say a vehicle was driving too close to a pedestrian as it was driving through the lot.
