At one time or another, everyone has experienced a driver parking their vehicle in a less than ideal way or location; forcing you to honk, curse, question the legitimacy of the driver’s license and think of ways to get around the parked vehicle.

If you’re a farmer, you move it yourself.

Video from England shows a farmer picking up a red Mazda6 with his tractor and front-end loader attachment after the car blocked a road.

“They parked in this chap’s drive,” the farmer tells the women who captured the ordeal on a cell phone. “He asked us to move the car, nobody claimed it.”

Curious, the women ask where the car is going to be placed.

“We’re going to put it up on the main road,” he tells them. “It’s the police’s problem then.”

Concerned for the safety of others, the women ask what’ll happen if the car rolls off the front of the tractor, to which the farmer replies that it’s equipped with wide plates and the car is well balanced.

And what message was made perfectly clear as a result of this video?

“Never p**s a farmer off!” one of the women says towards the end of the clip.

The video contains strong language.
