I've heard that its publicity video for the dash cam company.

wouldn't surprise me.. when she hits the '75 year old man' he seems to be moving too fast and didn't look like he was as tall as the car. when i first saw it i thought she hit a child.

Very little that happens in London actually makes the local papers and the TV news.

I have been to hit and run fatal RTC's involving 6 yr old kiddies that never made the local press let alone the TV News.

This kind of road collision is actually fairly common in London. Even the near fatal RTC involving Marc Almond was not reported much.

The only stabbings the reach the news are the ones involving teenage kids, if they are in their twenties the press aren't interested.

Doesn't look faked to me, I have seen the same attitude displayed many times in London when they were unable to leave scene due to vehicle damage.

. . . and those incidents that didn't make the news, did they have crystal clear footage of the whole incident?

I'm sorry, but if it was real it would have been all over the press. Cats get injured and killed every day, but if you've got video footage of someone sticking a cat in a wheely bin, it's on New at Ten.

The first thing you see on the video is a statement by the car owner - and the first thing they state is the manufacturer of the video camera. How many other YouTube videos do the same?

I found it shocking how she just denied it so calmly.

I agree, but I've seen it in people before (whether or not this is real). She's probably literally a sociopath - it doesn't mean anything to her, such people have no capacity to care and lying is easy for them.

If it wasn't for the video, she would have gotten away with it too. For most of us, lying in a stressful thing, but certain people are just born wrong, and can get away with anything just because they don't give anything away when they lie.

A normal person will assume that other people are like them, and will think "they are telling me to my face they didn't do it, maybe I'm mistaken..."

omg that video is well and truly shocking. how could she not realise that she sent someone flying. stupid !!!!! cant believe that man kept so calm. really cant believe that she didnt realise or just chose not to care. absolutely ridicolous her kids deserve a better mum than that so should be locked up.

i drive 40,000 miles a year (only in north tho), and this video almost makes me sick.
Ive not seen anything like that, not even in sheffield where i saw a woman driving on the pavement (early 20's) then swerved to join the road, but took out a bus stop, massive dents on her car but seems oblivious in the same way as this woman in the video.

I thought the man sounded 'shook up' in his voice.

But you can't make such sweeping generalisations!

A sweeping generalisation would be; if they were Asian's they'd have stopped and offered the man a no win no fee claim...

I've seen a few fake videos like this, most are made for the "hard hitting safety campaign" videos but it's the second link I gave which convinces me it is authentic.

From the very outset, she fails to give way to the lads in the car, then almost has a head-on with another car after driving toward oncoming cars as one turns left out of a junction.

Complete lunatic.... but still, it is her attitude after she has stopped which gets me more than her driving.

Good job she doesn't live near me..

I'll be surprised if its a fake, because he definitely sounded like he was shaking with adrenalin. Not something you could fake easily.
