This is the moment a female driver screams abuse at Nigel Farage before crashing her car seconds later.
A video posted on Mr Farage's TikTok page shows the Reform UK leader on the campaign trail in Clacton on Tuesday evening.
Standing on the side of the road, he can be heard chatting with a group of people as cars pass in both directions.
Just as a Vauxhall hatchback passes the crowd and heads towards a set of traffic lights, the driver hurls abuse at Mr Farage, leaning out the window and shouting: 'W***er.'
But she immediately crashes into the BMW waiting at a red light ahead of her, failing to apply the brakes in time after unleashing her tirade.
The watching group gasps as they witness the collision, with one quipping: 'She won't be doing that again in a hurry.'
Mr Farage posted the clip on his X account with the caption: 'This lady shouted abuse at me and then crashed her own car.
'That's what you might call instant karma!'

Mr Farage was doused with a McDonald's banana milkshake outside a pub in Clacton in 2024 after announcing he would stand for election in the constituency.
The Reform UK leader has recently expressed fears over his own safety, last week revealing he gets 30 death threats a week.
The party said it has recorded 1,577 threats against Mr Farage since February, including 597 death threats.
The figures include multiple threats from a number of individuals whom the party believes are 'fixated' with the idea of killing him.
Mr Farage will present the figures when he holds talks with the head of the Home Office's elite security team in a bid to improve protection for Reform MPs following the death of Ann Widdecombe.
The scale of the threat emerged amid an escalating row about the level of protection offered to Mr Farage by the authorities.
Reform's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick accused ministers of 'playing politics with the safety of politicians'.
Downing Street rejected the claim – and pointed out that Mr Farage was offered a meeting with the chairman of the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec), which co-ordinates security for members of the Royal Family and senior politicians.
Mr Jenrick acknowledged that Mr Farage had been offered a security package similar to that provided to Kemi Badenoch, including a car and bodyguard. But Mr Jenrick said the offer did not reflect the level of threat he faces.
A Reform spokesman said: 'Within days of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, at a moment when the threat to public figures on the Right was escalating, the security package Mr Farage was offered represented a 75 per cent cut without clear reason.
'Faced with a state offer that no longer matched the threat against him, Nigel declined the downgraded and inadequate package and Reform took the responsible decision to maintain proper protection rather than gamble with his life.'
Reform had compiled a dossier of hundreds of threatening messages received by Mr Farage, many of them posted on X.
They include 597 death threats – equal to an average of four a day or almost 30 a week.
Mr Farage will face a record 33 rival candidates in the by-election he triggered in protest at media and parliamentary scrutiny of his finances and backers.
The main Westminster parties are boycotting the Clacton by-election, dismissing it as a stunt by the Reform UK leader, leaving joke candidate Count Binface and actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox as his highest-profile opponents.
Mr Farage wanted the contest to be a 'people versus the establishment' showdown but he is now facing opponents including three from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party and an array of independents.
