A video doorbell captured the hilarious moment a woman was forced to chase after her runaway car after forgetting to put the handbrake on.<br /><br />Mia Roberts, 24, returned home from work and a trip to the supermarket, and was about to open her front door when she noticed her car slowly rolling away.<br /><br />Mia's blue Volkswagen Golf smashed into four metal barriers and was on course to hit her neighbour's Mini Cooper before she was able to catch up with it.<br /><br />Her car avoided any serious damage, but Mia's groceries weren't so lucky - with her eggs bearing the brunt of it when she dropped the bag to catch up with the car.<br /><br />Watching the video back, Mia whose automatic handbrake failed to engage, has vowed to never park on the road again - opting to use her driveway instead.<br /><br />Mia, a primary school teacher from Bourne, Lincolnshire, said: "The driveway can fit three cars on but it's a single driveway and I knew my partner needed to get out so I parked on the road.<br /><br />"My handbrake normally goes on automatically but because it's on a slight slope I should really press it in myself.<br /><br />"I hadn't put it on and I don't know what made me look to my left but I suddenly see the car rolling away and I don't know why I didn't run across the lawn!<br /><br />"It was heading for a brand new Mini and I'd accepted my fate that the car was going to hit it.<br /><br />"But thankfully I managed to unlock it, jump in and put the handbrake on in time.<br /><br />"When I ran past the parked car, I dropped the shopping bag to run faster to catch up with the car and my eggs split all over the road!<br /><br />"The few scratches on the car are from the four gates that the car knocked over - luckily I've not got many neighbours so I've gotten away with it quite discreetly!<br /> <br />"I don't know what made me look over my shoulder, it was just gut instinct.<br /><br />"My first thought was that I'd have to knock on someone's door as it was going to hit a house or a car."<br /><br />She says her boyfriend wasn't surprised by her handbrake blunder.<br /><br />She added: "My partner's not got the ring doorbell connected to his phone so when I showed him the video he wasn't surprised at all - he loved showing all his friends in all his group chats.<br /><br />"If I didn't have a ring doorbell no one would believe it! <br /><br />"When I'm first walking up the driveway not knowing that it's slowly moving away is so funny."
