Woman smashed car windscreen with head in horror incident

Shocking footage has emerged of a woman bashing her head on a car’s windscreen until it breaks in what appears to be a terrifying road rage incident.

Footage has emerged of a woman in Victoria repeatedly bashing her head into a car’s windscreen until it shattered.

The video, taken by a bystander, shows the woman – heard screaming incoherently – crouching on the bonnet of a sedan.

She then hits her head against the car’s windscreen several times, causing it to shatter.

The car then moves forward suddenly, knocking the woman off the bonnet, before she climbs back on.

It then reverses, causing her to fall off again.

The woman is then heard screaming for the driver to open the door, before climbing into the passenger seat of the vehicle.

The car is then seen moving forward slightly before coming to a stop and then speeding away.

It's unclear what caused the dispute or when it took place.

The video comes after an NRMA survey this week of more than 2000 members in NSW and the ACT found that 70 per cent had experienced road rage over the past 12 months.

One in four people said children had been present during the incident.

An even higher percentage (79 per cent) said they had witnessed the behaviour in other drivers.

Road rage was defined by those responding as physically assaulting another driver, getting out of a vehicle to confront another driver, tailgating and yelling.

“It’s consistently a serious issue,” NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said.

“The numbers are stubbornly high and unfortunately have not gone down since last time we did a similar survey.”

The motorists’ association warned that it was easier than ever to get caught for abusive behaviour on the road because dashboard cameras and smartphones were becoming more prevalent.

“Every bystander with a smartphone is now a recording witness – every dashcam an extension of the law,” Mr Khoury said.

“You now have more chance of getting caught and charged and your embarrassing behaviour featuring extensively on the news and across social media.”
