The grauniad article is interesting as it shows what the point is - licensing fees to news outlets and youtube advertising - along with the numbers involved

OK, I'll believe the Hampstead Thinking Person's paper.

If staged - it's really just a bit shite..

If real - fair play to her.

But a vehicle was damaged, the monkey had probably saved up for weeks to buy it and could well be very proud of it.

I call fake as the wing mirror came off too easily.

It's okay to break the law if nobody gets hurt, you said so in the other thread ๐Ÿ˜‰

Has someone owned up to the fakery yet? If it is fake, it's a good fake. The way the motorcyclist is really timid, and his voice breaking when he calls the guys scum is really indicative of the type of whiney fearful guy that'd own and use a dashcam. Not having a crack at him mind; if it is real, good on him!

So it's unfortunately probably a fake but:

makes me doubt it, along with the ease with which she ripped the mirror off

It's really easy, try it. A drunken lout tore the wing mirror off a car parked outside my house and threw it at the house, a van mirror gives you more leverage, believe me.

I have no experience ripping van mirrors off but the audio is still suspect. Unlikely the van passenger would be so easily heard on a gopro/dashcam type mic from that distance over traffic.

I've take a couple of wingmirrors off vehicles in my angrier days. One was particularly funny - got abused for no reason by a bunch of women in a car - tried to run me off the road as well as verbal abuse - they were laughing. When I caught up with them in traffic I just hit the mirror as I sailed past - it came off and smashed the glass. they looked a little shocked ๐Ÿ™‚
