Notice it’s always a woman quarrelling and making any situation worse. Listen to the voices you hear in these viral videos. Always some low class mess getting on like a savage animal
Ok so then what did the driver get for passing a place he was not supposed to pass in the first place? If I was this lady I would take the driver to court cause its because of his negligence in breaking the traffic law and passing in that direction where he was not supposed to be in the first place is what got her in this mess.
