The broad in the red car needs to die in a fire. Society simply doesn't need her.

This is a toughy! I don't know who to root for! The white car might have been waiting just as long as the other one.

You know.....I always said that if something like this happened to me I would tow them with my winch :)
Lucky for them it never happened as the old Landie would have gladly complied with towing up to 10,000lbs out of any spot, hehe.

Both funny and sad at the same time. What happened to civility? Student getting tazed in a school library and protesters being trampled over by police men on horses. Now women head butting bumpers over a parking space?

The white car appears to be in the right - notice the direction all the cars are facing. The red car would have been pakred the wrong way anyways.

That is frightening, but common in English cities. London commutes are expensive, and cause people on the edge to take it out on the innocent. The woman in the red car is a danger to other drivers, and I hope severe legal action was taken against her by the authorities.
On a note about bad drivers, George Weller, the elderly driver to plowed into a crowd of people at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market, was sentenced to probation. The judge and jury felt he deserved prison (and so did the public), but his old age (eighty-nine) and poor health stopped that from happening.

How is there even a debate as to who was right? The white car started turning in, and got in first. I've had a few people try to steal my parking spots before. I've also turned it (albeit slowly, not quickly like the idiots in red), and seen that someone else was already turning into the spot. No biggie, I just go for another spot because that's not my spot.

That scene in Fried Green Tomatoes always bugged me. What did the guy that owned the Ford Econoline she was ramming the VW into do to deserve a little red car for a hood ornament?

#6 "How is there even a debate as to who was right?"
Well, gee, because whoever has been waiting longer should get the spot. Or do you side into the first position in line at McD's and tell everyone else that you are in the right because you came from a different angle?
Lines are lines and whoever has been waiting the longest deserves first service. Period.

Oh, and to be perfectly clear, I'm not saying that the red car is justified in smashing the right car. That's just moronic.

Her insurer is going to screw her over for all she's worth (and rightly so). Think of the insurance premiums she's going to have after that...assuming she ever gets her license back.
["Lines are lines and whoever has been waiting the longest deserves first service. Period."]
I agree, but it doesn't matter who's turn it was. Nothing that excuses that kind of barbaric behavior.

I have to agree with No. 3 comments. This scene is Both idiotic and sad. It seems civility is getting rear in American society these days.
Twenty or more years ago the immature younger baby boomers at least had the World War 2 generation to guide them or teach them to act in a civil and mature manner.
The World War 2 generation is mostly gone now. And sadly the baby boomers are not mature or ethical enough to lead the younger generation X and Y people to even act properly in public or in many cases the workplace. Thus you will see more and more cases of road rage or the above incident happening in the future. I don't believe this lack of moral values in todays generation( people from 16 to 60) helps the US automaking or manufacturing industry out either

Too bad the video doesn't start a little earlier. It's hard to tell, but it looks as though the red car was waiting patiently, but couldn't pull into the spot until the first car drove off. Meanwhile, the while car just shows up and takes the spot. (At least, that's the way it seems to me.) Sure, there's no excuse for ramming another car. But the _desire_ to ram the other car ... well, I can identify with that. Who knows - if I was driving an old beater, I might actually do it now and then :)

I remeember this happening a few years ago when I live d in that town, Andover, in the UK.
Those spaces caused so many arguments than most of that area is now blocked off to cars :)

These are the times when I love to drive an old Chevrolet Opala with some train rails as the bumpers :)
