Woman Caught on Video Slapping Canadian Driving Instructor and Shouting “Go Back to Your Country”

A disturbing confrontation in a nearly empty parking lot in British Columbia has sparked widespread outrage after video appeared to show a woman striking a driving instructor and directing racist remarks at him.

The incident occurred around 9 a.m. on October 21, 2026, in the parking lot of a church in the 4800 block of 207 Street in Langley, British Columbia.

According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), officers were called after a dispute between a woman and a driving instructor escalated into an alleged assault. Police confirmed that a video of the confrontation was circulating online.

Footage shared on social media appears to show the woman approaching the instructor and slapping him across the face, knocking his sunglasses away. She then allegedly tells him to “go back to your country.”

The instructor responds that he was born in Canada.

The argument reportedly centered on a disagreement about parking. The woman appeared to accuse the instructor of leaving his vehicle illegally across multiple parking spaces, although police have not confirmed the precise circumstances that led to the confrontation.

Police arrest woman at the scene

Langley RCMP confirmed that officers arrested a woman after attending the parking lot. She was subsequently released, and police said she was expected to appear in court.

Authorities have not publicly identified the woman or announced charges in the initial reports.

Corporal Mansoor Sahak described the interaction as disturbing and stressed that the incident did not reflect the wider Langley community.

Police are continuing to investigate and have asked anyone who witnessed the confrontation to contact investigators, quoting file number 26-33543.

Driving school condemns alleged assault

The instructor was identified in media reports as working for Valley Driving School. The company issued a statement expressing concern about the incident and condemning the aggressive and racist behavior depicted in the circulating footage.

The school said the safety and well-being of its instructors and customers remained its priority. It also declined to provide further details while the police investigation was underway.

The video has prompted strong reactions online, with many viewers expressing concern about the treatment of the instructor and the alleged racist language.

For now, investigators are working to establish exactly what happened before and during the confrontation. The woman has not been convicted of any offense, and the allegations remain under investigation.
