Yeah, I saw this a while ago on youparklikeac**t.com. Relatively early in Jan, the papers didn't get a hold of the story for a couple of weeks.
Makes me laugh, the woman was completely in the wrong and yes she was saying she would report him for assault. Fair play to the guy. And then Sarah's husband..."why are you harrassing my wife why are you harrassing my wife" loooool.
I hated her accent, even without watching this video I could tell she would have been a psychopath. Heaven help us. Although I should point out not all Audi drivers are t**ts but this woman most certainly is. Funny though, this guy recording handled it all very nicely, in an adult way.
Did anyone else see the video of the guy who looked like a Chav but actually seemed really nice walking down the motorway when there was an accident, and filming the people who blocked the hard shoulder..
From the videos of certain acts of driving people should be fined but the justice system doesn't allow for that.

To lesser extent, this is the kind of thing that happens when people hit the bollards or get caught by the Park Way bridge camera. Their first reaction is to have a go at other people, rather than accept that they are in the wrong.
In the video her car has been filmed causing an obstruction, there are then numerous thinly veiled threats from her and her husband, and she is also recorded saying that she will lie to the police and accuse him of assault. I don't think she has done a single thing right in this video, yet she can't see that, and clearly thinks it's the guy filming her that's the problem.
Had she admitted she was wrong and apologised, then this would have been a non-event. Instead she now has to put up with the consequences of her ranting.
Having said that, there's clearly something about us all where we don't like to admit that we are in the wrong and our first instinct is to be defensive, often beyond the point that is logical. Although you would have thought that, at some point on her long walk, she would perhaps have realised that and calmed down.

QUOTE (JeffG @ Feb 9 2012, 03:52 PM) I'm still trying to work out what that was all about. I didn't even see which was her car. How that totally boring video of a pavement and two pairs of legs went viral I will never know. Having a high IQ makes one rather hard of sight? ! Right at the begging there's an Audi stopped/parked by a Road Closed sign and cars are having to navigate round it.

QUOTE (user23 @ Feb 9 2012, 09:14 AM) Has anyone else seen this video? Road rage in BathThe negative publicity generated from her poor driving and subsequent actions have probably wrecked her business. Good. She has made a mountain out of a mole hill and it backfired. She deserves everything she gets. And it isn't illegal to film either.

Looks like a pretty major traffic violation to me, on account of being a complete c-word. There's nothing to "convict" here...woman does something daft, guy minding his own just recording the situation, woman and her husband go doolally on her.... hmm...

Yes, the woman has parked badly, but if someone started to film my missus or her car, I would have to say I would start to get 'tense'.

Yes, I saw that car (of course), but since it was already behind the obstruction caused by the Road Closed sign, I hadn't noticed it causing much of a difference. And since the road was closed, the hold up appeared to be caused by all the traffic going the "wrong way". (xjay - thanks for posting the link again. I thought it was going to be something new!) PS. No, I wouldn't park like that

Which is a contradiction in terms.
Yes, the woman has parked badly, but if someone started to film my missus or her car, I would have to say I would start to get 'tense'. Sorry, to me it seems you're....sympathising with this woman? I really don't understand. Apparently this road was already bad for traffic. She made it a **** of a lot worse by basically blocking off the road. Guy recorded it, probably to put on Youtube, or submit to youparklikeac***.com - and this woman then HARASSED him (and got her hubbie to do it as well) and started conspiring to create fake assault charges. I'm sure if you or your missus did nothing wrong then yes, you'd have a right to get "tense", but if you or your missus were being c-words and blocked up a road, then expect eggs to be thrown and frankly you would deserve to be recorded and humiliated, there's selfish and there's selfish...guess where an act like this falls into.. and rather than make a fuss, generally when you have been a c-word the best thing to do is hang your head and disappear quickly. Had this woman not had gone on a massive bender about it it probably wouldn't have made the news and her business would not have been affected (if it has been) - and we wouldn't have had to be subjected to her annoying voice and accent. In short the world would have been a better place. So in short, she needs to shut her face.
