Woman threatens to call police on driver for breaking social distancing by pulling call up too close to hers

‘You’re supposed to keep two metres apart because a virus is going on at the moment,’ woman shouts

A woman threatened to call the police on a man for breaking social distancing rules after his car pulled up near hers.

In a post on TikTok, Owen Smith-Carretero said he pulled up behind the woman at the traffic lights and she waved him over.

“She pulled over and I went up next to her and she kept talking s**t about how I was too close to her at the traffic lights and it might give her coronavirus,” Mr Smith-Carretero wrote.

Footage shows the woman shouting at him through the window of her car.

“I’ll call the police, I mean it,” she can be heard saying.

Mr Smith-Carretero asks: “Why are you going to call the police?”

She explains: “You’re supposed to keep two metres apart because a virus is going on at the moment.”

He repeatedly tells her he is “in a car” and she repeats: “Doesn’t matter.”

“What are you on about?” he asks.

She says: “You haven’t got my problem, okay?”

Mr Smith-Carretero tells her: “I’m in a car. How am I meant to keep two metres in a car?”

She tells him to “go before I get my phone out and call the police” before saying: “Go on.”

The video of the encounter, which reportedly took place in Crawley, Surrey, has been viewed more than 2.2 million times.

In a later post Mr Smith-Carretero, said: “I feel a bit sorry for her. She’s crazy.

“But she can’t be waving her middle finger out of the car like that. Who does she think she is?”
