A farm worker used a forklift to get a car out of his farm front gate, flipped the car, then knocked on the driver who filmed the scene and kicked the machine’s tires. The battle took place at Barnard Castle, UK, last Saturday (5/6).

The moment was recorded and posted on social media. In the records, a yellow forklift pushes a vehicle until it flips over and pulls it away from the gate. Meanwhile, the owner of the car, who is wearing a T-shirt and shorts, records the scene with his cell phone and tries to stop the movement, after the machine knocks him to the ground.

BBC presenter Jeremy Fine posted the video and wrote on Twitter: “The driver blocked the farm gate with the car. He has a smartphone. The farmer has a forklift. Who would win this?”

According to the news website The Sun, locals in the area said dozens of vehicles were parked on rural roads, infuriating local farmers. “Maybe this is a bit extreme, but people are constantly parking like idiots in rural areas,” said one concerned resident.
