Furious driver repeatedly rams parking attendant's van after getting a ticket

A furious driver was filmed repeatedly ramming a parking attendant's van after getting a ticket.

The motorist uses his own van to smash into the SIP Car Park attendant in Manchester - hitting his vehicle at least six times.

His rage had reportedly been sparked by a £65 ticket for parking on the pavement in Strangeways, Manchester.

Twitter page 'London Crime LDN & U.K Crime' shared the video and captioned the post: "Manchester - This man appears to be angry cause he was fined for parking illegally on the pavement. The driver decided to use his own van as a weapon to attack the government staff."

In the video, the van driver can be clearly seen colliding with the parking attendant van. The driver then refuses before hitting the attendant again.

The attendant then tries to reverse away from the white van before he is then hit again by the driver at speed.

The SIP worker then manages to perform a three point turn in the road, however as he does so he is clipped at the front by the driver.

He is then hit once more in the rear. As the camera holder drives past the two, the parking attendant van can be seen with the license plate hanging loose as the video ends.

@DevilJukebox said: "So rather than pay the fine he's now gotta pay the fine plus damages to his own van as well as the other van. Smart."

@jazzpanflute also said: "Excellent. So easy to give someone a ticket, but you gotta realise some people are already at the end of their tether and will damage their own vehicle to help you get it."

@HX54NXX commented: "Could've paid £65, now he is paying damages for his own car, the other car + the initial £65. Plus court fees and jail time. Some people really are just born stupid I guess."

@Salahlalalalala posted: "How dumb can u be to do this, knowing it will prob be filmed, reg will be on camera, and when it goes viral, the world world will know what a be* you are."

A spokesman for SIP Car Parks today said: "We are grateful our driver is safe and well, we are letting the police do their job now."
