Warning, the video below includes some choice language at times. Best watched with sound off.

The man who filmed the footage, who asked not to be named, said: “Unfortunately the offender was very careless after committing the parking offence, he also causes an accident while trying to drive off with no indicator or signal from his illegal parking position.

“The offender was driving without due care and attention, clearly had no respect for the road safety and did not follow the road driving codes.”
