Help with a movie title

Years ago on TV I saw a documentary about the silent comedians. In it they showed scenes from a Hal Roach film starring Laural and Hardy. In it they were stuck in a traffic jam and get into an argument with another motorist. As the argument escalates they proceed to completely dismantle each others' cars. One of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. Does anyone know the name of it or if it's available to view anywhere? Thanks.

A heart can be broken, but it still keeps a-beatin' just the same.

You may have seen the Robert Youngson compilation film "The Golden Age of Comedy", which featured most of the Sennett and Roach stables. The individual scene you mention is from "Two Tars" and is available for viewing on YouTube. For what it's worth, "Two Tars" is my favorite L&H silent, and I've seen them all (except for the missing "Hats Off").
