Car park revenge ‘distinctly satisfying’

It may not be an advert for cars but the revenge driving in the commercial below is something many motorists have likely played with the idea of doing at some stage.

The 2002 campaign shows the frustration of a driver who patiently waits for a parking space to become available only for another motorist to speed in and take the spot.

After being brushed off with a “sorry, I didn’t see you”, the fuming woman decides to take drastic action – much to her delight and the other person’s dismay.

The advert is for Gregg’s instant coffee and suggests that such revenge, like its drink, is “distinctly satisfying”.
