Stunning new video captures the moment a British driver fills orange plastic supermarket bags with petrol at a petrol stationwrites the diary. Hundreds of people harshly criticized the driver online.
The incredible footage showed the terrified woman filling shopping bags with petrol and slowly placing them in the boot of her car without even tying them down! The woman left another driver confused and the video has already been viewed by more than 10 million people online.
“This is just selfish. Look at her utter desperation. We won’t run out of gas baby,” wrote a man who saw the video. Another person paused at her strange idea of leaving open bags in the trunk. “What does he think will happen when he turns the corner?” he asked in disbelief. “Gasoline will corrode these plastic bags,” bellowed another harshly futile effort.

Iran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade normally passes, by bombing ships and making other vessels afraid to pass. A female driver in the United Kingdom was criticized for her behavior on the Internet the shocking way it responded to rising fuel prices. You can find the VIDEO at the end of the article.
