The rabble-rousing Rev should give his daughter a sermon about road rage.

The Rev. Al Sharpton's ex-wife and daughter were arrested last night after berating a pair of Harlem cops who pulled them over for running a red light in the wrong lane to get around their slow-moving, unmarked cruiser, sources told The Post.

Kathy Jordan, 53, and her daughter, Dominique Sharpton, 23, were handcuffed and hauled to a precinct, where the raging reverend's daughter tried to no avail to get off the hook because of her family ties, the sources said.

The road rage incident began around 7:30 p.m. on West 110th Street and Eighth Avenue as Dominique became frustrated as she drove behind the crawling police vehicle, the sources said.

Sharpton honked her horn and tailgated the vehicle from the NYPD’s Housing Bureau before finally losing her cool.

She furiously swerved across the double yellow line and sped through a red light to get past the cop car.

The officers pulled her over, and both she and her mother became belligerent and argumentative, the sources said.

They were both slapped in handcuffs and thrown in the cruiser.

Dominique Sharpton was charged with resisting arrest, and issued summonses for crossing a double yellow line and running a light.

Jordan was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration, police said.

Sources added that Dominique Sharpton dropped her dad’s famous name at the stationhouse before being released.

"Reverend Sharpton has been made aware of the details of the matter and will aggressively support his daughter and her mother, despite their announced change of marital status in 2003. He has instructed his attorneys to seek answers and justice in this matter."

Luckily for Mayor Bloomberg, November is too cold to riot.
