Road-rage driver nearly runs herself over after yelling at motorist in viral video
A video has gone viral of the moment a road-rage driver forgets her handbrake, leading to a display of instant karma.
Video of a US road rage confrontation showing a woman’s car started down the street after she apparently forgot to brake after getting out to approach another driver has gone viral.
Footage of the incident posted on Reddit shows the woman, dressed in a white tank top and Miami Marlins baseball cap, confronting the other driver as he filmed their encounter, the New York Post reports.
“What are you tweaking about?” the male motorist inquires as the woman opens her car door to scold him for allegedly “spinning and swerving” on the road, claiming to have an “82-year-old man” as her passenger.
The woman rages, “Just because it’s the Fourth of July doesn’t mean you can be a f**king d**k!”
The male driver accuses the woman of being “drunk”, earning himself a, “F**k you, guy!”
He insists, “You’re the one swerving, I was just following you.”
She then throws open her door and emerges from her car to challenge his assertion, but before she can even stand up straight, her sedan starts comically rolling away without her realising it.
“Um, uh…,” the male driver stammers in disbelief as he notices her car slowly moving out of sight.
The woman spits out, “I’m the one f**king swerving?!” — then catches on to her careless error and starts chasing the car down the roadway mid-sentence, frantically trying to get her foot on the brake.
Her car rolls before bumping into an SUV, with the driver’s side door whipping back and nearly pinning her leg.
“There she … and … OK,” the driver sputters as he attempts to give real-time commentary of the bizarre encounter.
The video then cuts and resumes showing the woman apparently explaining the situation to the driver of the SUV her car just hit.
The footage ends with all three vehicles continuing on their way. The angry woman’s sedan pulls out in front of the driver who filmed the encounter, brandishing a sizeable fresh dent on the driver’s side door.
Neither driver’s identity was immediately known, nor was it apparent where the incident happened.
The SUV that the woman’s car hit appeared to have a Florida license plate, and palm trees could be seen in the background of the video.
