A driving instructor had a testing experience during a trip to Reading when he was subjected to a volley of filthy abuse.

Ben Moody, 25, from Oxford, was visiting friends in Great Knollys Street when he was accosted over his choice of parking spot.

Mr Moody and his girlfriend Harley Clarke had arranged for a temporary permit to park while they stayed overnight on Sunday, July 30.

However, this infuriated a neighbour who began to yell and swear at the couple.

Mr Moody was in his company car and recorded the entire exchange on his dashcam.

The couple were approached by the man and a woman, who first politely asked whether they were permit holders.

When they explained they were visiting, the man exploded with rage, and beganwearing, saying how much he has to pay for a permit in the road. Mr Moody told the man the permit was being brought to him.

The man responded by saying: "I’m gonna wait - I’m legally within my right to wait until you get a parking permit."

When Mr Moody asked the man why he couldn’t park elsewhere he was met with the furious response of: "Because we f***ing live here you p****.

"Will you f***ing shut the f*** up and f*** off over there?"

He then added: “I’m in a right mood for a punch-up.”

The altercation drew a crowd of onlookers, who very much sided with Mr Moody, which eventually led to the furious man backing down.

He said: “It was pretty funny, people came out of their houses and started telling him he was wrong and how we were allowed to park there.

“He kept going on about the parking permit and then said he was in the mood for a punch up.

“I’m not the sort of person who gets into fights in the street so was glad to see it end.

“To be honest, as a driving instructor, I’ve had far worse verbal abuse.

"But the reason I didn't move at the time was because I wasn't going to let him bully me out of the way.

"I wanted to keep him from doing that to other people in the future and wanted to stand my ground."
