Yes she's probably got a bob or two but to think that can happen on the streets of Britain for the sake of a watch....

Seriously??

And why is this not in NPE?

[SmoothCriminal]

I would have no problem with running them down if they attacked me.

[Alucidnation]

It would quite a case in court if the cam car did run them down breaking their legs in the process.

I think I would've saw red and drove into both of them. The next crime he committed would be been in a wheelchair. Obviously Id get more time behind bars than them though and instantly regret it. What do you do though if you see this happen in front of you? Watch, Record it and hope you get enough evidence, react and help.....?

Sadly in the UK, I wouldn't do anything. The law doesn't really encourage you to take on crims. Terrorists - and you'd be hailed a hero - but a couple of promising-footballers on mopeds and you've got everything to lose.

I wouldn't think there'd be too many issues running them over as the camera car.

You'd need to consider changing your username if so.

Disgusting.

Credit to the lady for keeping her wits about her and driving off to safety.

The video just frustrates me, she could have just drove off over the pavement. And the other cars just sat there when the lights changed blocking her way. I would have rammed my way though the cars in front if i was in that situation.

I imagine she was in quite a state of panic at the time.

If I was the victim, I'd try and extract myself from the situation.

If I was a bystander, I'd do nothing. Nothing at alll. If I did anything, I'd run the same risk as the police when a criminal gets injured: I'd be spending the next 3 or 4 years under investigation and have the possibility of being prosecuted at the end. This is on top of the civil claim from the criminals with the broken legs. Think I'd just turn up the stereo.

Yep - not worth putting yourself in danger or a lot of potential bother. This isn't the movies - rather than taking them down and being the hero - chances are you'd miss and they'd turn on you and/or wreck your car. Do you think someone driving one of those hideous Bentley SUV's would stop to help you? (No is the answer in case you're struggling).
Better to sit put and take video evidence IMO.

Bentley held up well to the assault, driver did well a lot of people would have frozen up, like dozy pugeot in front of her

What would the deal be if the camera car got involved? Depends how you did it maybe, doing a banzai into them would be a bad idea, just muscle through at idle?

But what do you do about the two mopeds? The two guys on foot jumped off a pair of mopeds at the front of the lights, which circled back to cover the passenger side of the Bentley.

Top comment from the wail is great

This is an utterly lawless country. No values, no morals and no respect. These youngsters all worship the imbecilic fools who flash their wealth as if thats the only thing that matters....

Username is ironic

In a 2.5 tonne four wheel drive SUV? Squish them out of the way and claim to be in fear for my life and wellbeing from the gang of axe wielding maniacs.

As has been shown in societies through the ages, when wealth inequality reaches a critical point redistribution will occur. Whether this will be achieved by Jeremy Corbyn or thick-set men with pick axe handles remains to be seen...

[Yipper]

The lady obvs knew to be careful driving a rich car in one of the poorest cities in the developed world. She'd already locked or auto-locked her doors before the attack, and had the composure to repel during the attack, and drive away calmly after the attack.

Surprised one or two of the cars in front of the Bentley did not inch forward to allow her to escape sooner.
