Staggering arrogance toward another person coupled with complete driving incompetence. From the opening scene to the final scene you will be shocked.

Second link (longer video) but requires signing in to youtube shows a few minute before the events above, even more impatience and aggressive driving.

Can't find a link but
she got away lightly with a 2 year suspended, 200 hours community service, 2 year ban and had to pay the victim £500 compensation"
Even when she drove off and completely denied everything?

How on Earth can the woman show so much blind ignorance toward what she has done??

    Thats shocking, she should be permanently banned IMO and she should face a prison sentence
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    I couldn't believe what I was watching there! Fair play to the guys in the following car, too. She should have gone to prison for that, but think it's probably the facts that she has a couple of kids and no previous that she got away so lightly!

    I saw this a couple of days ago on https://www.liveleak.com (be warned : whilst that site is absolutely excellent for dash camera vids, with one or two new ones posted every day, there's some dodgy videos on there too which you may want to avoid... 18+). I found it shocking how she just denied it so calmly. The two guys in the car did exactly the right thing with one stopping to help and the other going after the offender. The woman deserved around 10 years inside but got a slap on the wrist because British justice is pathetic. :(

    She was on the wrong side of the road when she hit him, how the hell did she escape a prison sentance
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.

    Thats just idiotic and irresponsible driving at its worst and all because she was late for work. Safety of oneself and everyone else is more important than making sure your on time for work. A female as well. I thought they had more common sense. Some of the comments on the second link say the video is a fake.
  • and the insurance companies stats say women are saferer drivers PFFFF, i was watching an episode police interceptors and the police officer on there after attending a women who crashed her car on a roundabout said that accident involving women had risen in the last few years dramatically, and being caught on a mobile/doing make up even more so.

    she got away with it through the justice system, but i bet her personal circumstances had changed with the loss of her job, higher insurance (if she get her license back), financial difficulty and bloody well deserved.

    I've heard that it is fake too, but looks pretty real to me.

    if it just showed the hit of the person I would say it could be fake but its a big hoax to drive like a nutter after the woman then show the woman at the end aswell, even though her face is blurred. A lot of effort for a fake, but who knows.

    Actually the insurance companies stats I've seen says women have more accidents and are thus less safe drivers. But let's not go there.
