I'll just drive my car off this tow truck, what could go wrong?

Maybe he wasn’t carrying any?

Very true! Your comment made me curious enough to Google the Zamboni top speed. The answer = 9.7 mph.

No, because it’s in Ireland. :slight_smile:

All the cars appear to have Irish number plates, and everyone except the repo men speaks in an Irish accent. (One of them says “the police are coming”, forgetting to use the Irish name Garda.)

Is this guy related to the woman who wouldn’t get out of her car when it was getting towed?

Oh, they can be the same thing. When I was living in London, the parking enforcement guys in one area got busted taking photos of cars, then taking photos of signs blocks away to “prove” the car was parked improperly. They were colluding with the tow truck drivers.

That was my first guess, but I was wary of foisting my 'Murican assumptions on another country.

The plates and accents suggest South Africa, but the weather suggests UK. :confused:

ETA: Sorry, I should have phrased that as a question. Does anyone know where this is and whether racial profiling is as rampant there as it is in the US?

Parking cops don’t have arrest powers. I’d be surprised if the real cops weren’t on the way.

Couldn’t they just get another, bigger,vehicle to carry 'em both?

Reddit /r/videos…there was a rash of these a few weeks ago of idiots trying to get their cars off trucks. There was the Chinese lady that drove off with a tow truck hanging off of her much more powerful truck, and a few British ones like this.

That’s as close as I get…I believe this one was in the flock of videos that were going around.

Okay, the hat, radar ping douchebag.

Part two: Degrades women? Douchebag squared.

The car has Irish number plates, and they are speaking with Irish (Dublin?) accents. So odds on, it’s from Ireland. The tilting ones tend to be used for roadside recovery, but the council/police tend to lift up cars. I guess it’s because they may be parked up with a car in front and behind.

Very disappointed he didn’t give the give the front end a push up and try to tilt it off. Not at all satisfying conclusion.

Not the best recording of this Steve Goodman song, but I think it gets the idea across quite nicely!
