Unbelievable moment woman’s road rage attack in drive-thru goes wrong leaving her clinging to a moving car’s bonnet

A woman has lost her licence for six months after she drove off with a road-raging driver gripping onto her bonnet.

Natalie Alice Shaw, 22, was pulling into a carpark off a major road on the Gold Coast in July 2025 when she came head-to-head with another driver, who was driving the wrong way.

Thinking the worst was over, Ms Shaw proceeded through a drive-thru but met the other driver again as she went to exit.

The driver had gotten out of her car and began cursing at Ms Shaw, who attempted to drive away as the stranger tried to open her car door.

Seeing Ms Shaw’s effort to escape, the driver moved in front of her car and said: ‘You’re gonna hit me?

‘Go on, go on. You stupid dog.’

In a video, obtained by Nine News, Ms Shaw recalled thinking: ‘I was like, ‘Well, yeah if you’re in my way, I’m gonna get you to move out of my way’.’

The woman jumped onto the bonnet of Ms Shaw’s car shortly before she pulled out of the carpark and onto Olsen Avenue in Molendinar, which has a speed limit of 60km/h.

‘I’m driving, trying to get her off. Swerving, trying to get her off,’ Ms Shaw said.

Chaotic footage showed the woman gripping onto the bonnet while yelling at Ms Shaw to ‘slow the f*** down’.

She eventually fell off the side of the vehicle.

Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday disqualified Ms Shaw from driving for six months.

Magistrate Sarah Thompson noted ‘in 25 years of practice I have never seen such bizarre behaviour’.

‘The behaviour of the complainant was erratic, it was dangerous, it placed you in danger, you also placed her in danger,’ she said.

‘It was a poor decision that you made in the circumstances, being confronted with what anyone objectively would see as a terrifying situation.’
