Chasing down and deliberately damaging a vehicle after a verbal altercation? No matter what the provocation, her reaction is out of order.
She seems to have anger issues and needs to be spoken to by the police.
How will she react next time she doesn't like what someone says?
Exactly, a clear case of criminal damage. She must have been on her period !She seems to have anger issues and needs to be spoken to by the police.

Shame it's fake. I would like it to have been real
If it were real, the only advice I would give the woman would be: next time, forget the mirror and just run your keys along the length of the van as you go past. That would have caused about £1000 worth of damage rather than £200 or so for the mirror

£200 for a mirror? wtf? more like £20 at the breakers, hell you can buy the complete mirror assembly off ebay for £30.If it were real, the only advice I would give the woman would be: next time, forget the mirror and just run your keys along the length of the van as you go past.

Wow, that just goes to show what utter cheap s
t Ford stuff really is! When someone broke a mirror off my VW van it was about £180 for a new one, and a new mirror for a Jag XJ is £800...this kind of st doesn't happen where I'm from, theres a lot higher standard for drivers to get on the road, even the tests can be tough, not just for the 16 y/o kids but for older drivers too I took my son to learn at some adency I found on http://driver-start.com/ and hes never gonna pull some stupidity like this, he actually got the basics drilled in

If you reverse the situation so that say a couple of middle aged women in a 4x4 give a male cyclist a few "oi oi sexy/look at those legs/oo look at that ass in lycra" and he went an ripped the wing mirror off he would be branded a lunatic that should never be allowed out, there would be calls for criminal damage charges, women all over would argue that the aggressive behaviour of the man was way out of order and he should be proud to receive such attention for the opposite sex.
Short version - couldn't give a fuk looks a setup women & men can both be guilty of sexist comments/unwanted approaches and bad driving but for some reason this woman is being praised for her behaviour.

Alright, are you a self loathing white cis male neomarxist living off of daddys trust fund in a squat somewhere in Shoreditch?
I still have no idea what you are going on about or suggesting.Sorry.

Let me spell it out for you then - in what civilised country is it ok to do 1000gbp in criminal damage in retaliation for someone saying something nasty. You must be living somewhere east of Beriln I'm guessing? If I come and live with you will I be ok to kick someone's teeth in if they call me a wker?
I wouldn't worry , NInjaPower's joke hasn't worked even though he included a ker?Attacking personal property because you don't like someone's behaviour makes you just a low as them in my opinion.

It simply isn't ok to harass a woman, or anyone in fact, the way that the Neanderthal in the van was doing.ker?People should be fully entitled to go about their lives without that kind of thing happening.
Whilst I generally don't agree with criminal damage or physical violence, there are portions of society that simply don't understand any form of punishment or retribution except those things. They are completely disinterested in what the police would have to say to them, or indeed anyone else.
If causing £1000 worth of damage is the only way to get these kind of primates to think twice about shouting out of their van window at women, then so be it.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Jesus - is this what its come to??? People making a living by faking things like this???
"What did you do today son?"
"I created a fake video that fooled loads of people into thinking was real"
"I'm so proud of you"
As with most things, it's all about the money. People get paid if enough people watch their viral videos."What did you do today son?"
"I created a fake video that fooled loads of people into thinking was real"
"I'm so proud of you"
Plenty of people make a very good living now just by uploading YouTube videos.
