We've all had a run-in or two with bad drivers in our time. You know the ones – they're the people who think they're entitled to do whatever they want on the road, no matter how it impacts other people.

Unfortunately, even the most experienced drivers can sometimes find themselves at the mercy of one of these inconsiderate road users. Just ask Martin King, a reporter for Channel 9's A Current Affair program.

On Tuesday afternoon, King found himself in a heated stand-off with another driver while trying to exit an underground car park in Melbourne. The whole incident was caught on camera by the other driver's dashcam and later shared online.

In the clip, we see King's Mercedes SUV enter the car park and block the way for the other driver, who was trying to leave. The two cars were then seen stuck facing each other for a moment before King got out of his own vehicle to speak to him.

'Just reverse! Reverse!' The dashcam driver can be heard shouting at him repeatedly as he filmed their encounter with his phone camera.

The exchanges between them quickly became heated as King informed the driver that he couldn't back up because there was something in the way. The other driver immediately seemed to recognise him and asked to confirm.

'Yes, I'm from Channel 9. I've got three kids in the car. I can't reverse,' Mr King responded, to which the driver jokingly replied: 'You've got a four-wheel-drive, and you're famous. Just go back.'

After some time, the driver of the vehicle with the dashcam gave up and went into reverse, which allowed Mr King to steer his Mercedes to the side of the road and freed him up to drive away.

The driver, though, was so intent on having the final word that he shouted out the window as Mr King drove by, saying: 'Thank you, I'm calling Channel Seven!'

Key Takeaways

• A driver recorded a bizarre stand-off with a Channel 9 reporter after their cars became stuck in an underground car park.
• The reporter, believed to be from A Current Affair, got out of his car to speak to the other driver, who was filming the moment with his dashcam.
• The reporter explained that he couldn't reverse because there was an object blocking his car.
• The dashcam driver eventually reversed so that the reporter could maneuver his car out.

More than a thousand users had watched the video earlier this week, and other people on Twitter had commented and shared their thoughts about the driveway incident.

'So working for Channel 9 gives you an automatic pass for being a bad driver? I guess you learn something new every day,' one user tweeted in response.

Another added: 'Why did he drive in on the wrong side and then mount the median? Then he couldn't turn the wheel left to make some space? We're not all here to move out of your way.'

What do you think, folks? Who was at fault here: Mr King or the driver who recorded the incident on their dashboard camera? Comment below and let us know!

haha - obviously the remark about "Channel7" is just a joke as why would KING start and tell the other guy "I'm from Channel9" - what difference does that make?...duhh... King pulls into of the car park and then blocks the way , at least try and reverse and then apologise..not... OHH I am from Channel 9 (big deal) lol.

You could be from Mars for all I'd care, bad driving is bad driving and being a "celebrity" doesn't grant you any special dispensations!

It's hard to see who is in the wrong normally with most car parks you have a lane to come in and a separate lane to exit
