Couple of points I'm guessing?

She pays road tax, doesn't she?
It's ok, she has a disabled badge...
<p>5 pages</p>
That's quite some sense of entitlement there.
Just me or was the video quality really great?
I'd have taken her car keys off her and dropped them down the nearest grid. What a cockwomble.
Silly runners, roads are for cars.
what a silly woman driver, turn round luv and go a different way.

I think her bingo wings prevent her trying the wheel that far.
I have a brief knowledge of the city, but cant work out in which residential area has only one way in and out. Therefore I can only assume that as long as she is alright everyone else can go whistle!
Didn't you hear...she has a workshop in Oakhampton. Oh well, on you go then love
F** F*** C!

I hear that she thinks you're a total munter.
I am a munter though...
She's a fox
You're all being 'orrible
She's eaten a fox for breakfast.
I imagine the cyclist riding past at the end boiled her piss !
Batman did nothing to stop her 🙁
Ahh, you see plenty of idiots like that.
Is her name Mrs Prickering ??

Yep, saw a couple yesterday on the Sufffolk Sunrise. Cars, cyclists and single track roads, not always a good mix!
Why the hell wasnt that edited. I had to fast forward the first three minutes and the signal is rubbish in my bathroom. The runners should’ve ganged up and flipped her car.
Yeah, 2.5mins before the ahem, "action". It's quite funny how amazingly thick some people are, isn't it.
I did like that the guy thought placing a cone infont of a moving car would stop it, or pushing it backwards really hard.
He couldn't have pushed her backwards on foot, let alone in a car.
I hope there were no £5k bikes in the way.
I loved the disabled card being waved about. Like it gives her catre blanche to do what she likes!
Just read the news report... it was actually a lot more exciting than it appeared on the video 😀
This is the shocking moment a woman defies road restrictions and brazenly drives her car into the path of dismayed Plymouth half marathon runners.
... knocking over a cone and almost injuring a man as he attempts to block the vehicle ploughing into participants
What a mouth breather.
To be fair she did try every which way she could to get out and it does take her a long time to get ready in the morning.
Pfft! Call that local news? We didn't find out if she ever did make it to her studio in Oakhampton?!
Lancashire Road Club Organise the Rake Hillclimb every year up our road. This involves the closure of one road for the duration of a whole hour on a Sunday afternoon, once a year, in October. Everyone receives loads of notice, plus its the same weekend every year, so everyone knows about it anyway.
And I can say that from what we see every year, this type of attitude is unfortunately pretty standard during the event. Some peoples sense of entitlement is unbelievable.
I'll just stand still here, while the whole ****ing world revolves around me
Some bloke in an Audi Q7 nearly took out a few riders on the Ilkley Crits over Thuscross yesterday... rolling roadblocks, plenty of motorbikes and patrol vehicles yet the bellend decided to overtake going up Dacre Bank when the peloton was heading down it.
Apparently, just been told, that Plod have got involved so hopefully a slap on the wrists for the driver.. He was wearing a pink shirt, and we all know what that means...

Must make changing lightbulbs a breeze.
I wonder how things would have been different if the driver had been middle eastern looking and driving a hired box van....
I wonder how things would have been different if the driver had been a chubby, bald middle-aged man in a dark red people carrier...
when people start posting their videos, they need to tell us which phone they're using, it'll help me when it comes to upgrading my phone.
Those bingo wings and her sense of entitlement are crisp as a bag of walkers

Who's that then?

Similar in the Chevin evening road race last Tuesday out near Boroughbridge. I was riding round the course in reverse to cheer on my OH and got to a junction just as they put the barriers out because the race was approaching. I stopped, shortly afterwards a Porsche cayenne approached from behind me and just swerved round the both me and the barriers as the front group emerged from the side road (and because the barrier was on the side of the road he should have been using, going onto the other side of the road put him in direct conflict with the riders coming in the other direction). Then the driver stopped where he was to have a debate with the marshall and almost got in the way of the second group too.

This looks like it was someone filming the event, so possibly a proper camera rather than a phone.

nah, this is plymuff. we don't do diversity.

Hey Perchy.... how many graphic designers does it take to change a lightbulb?
None!

I see this has now made the main bbc homepage - but with the bingo wings blurred out.
Without trying to exonerate her in anyway now I know where it happened (Hawkers Ave) and where the route goes she would have been unable to get out and been marooned. Quite a lovely spot these days next to a marina but it would have been a gilded cage for the morning. As it's only a mile or so from both the start and the finish unless they lifted the closed roads for a while in the middle it would have been a problem for her for a good few hours. Easy enough to say park elsewhere if you need car access but from that location it would be a fair hike for someone entitled to a disabled parking badge to an alternative place to park.
When do the needs of a sizeable niche (marathon runners) doing something most would applaud override the 'needs' of a member of the public wanting to get on with their daily life? I can think of a few roads near me that get closed about half a dozen times a year for running races, triathlons, carnivals and an annual march. If it was me I'd like to think I'd embrace it as part of living in a happening place but I could see how it could make you grumpy too.

Sounds a great place to live.
Why should anyone expect any road to be open to all traffic 365 days a year? Unexpected unannounced road closures (mains water/gas leaks etc) cause chaos… put planned, publicised closures (people enjoying life) should just be worked around, no?

He didn't stop it but he made it really damn clear that she was being mental, that's pretty effective.
