Watch as brazen Tesco delivery driver runs lorry over furious man’s brand new lawn – leaving tyre tracks through it
THIS is the moment a brazen Tesco delivery driver ran a lorry straight over a brand-new lawn.
The shameless move not only left tyre tracks in the grass, it also left the homeowner fuming.
In the clip, captured on a home security camera, a lorry with Tesco on the side can be seen driving straight across the green lawn, between two rocks – which appear to be in place to stop vehicles driving on the grass.
As the lorry leaves the lawn and re-mounts the driveway a sensor light comes on, revealing the long tyre marks that have been left behind.
The homeowner took to Twitter to share the clip with the caption: “Awfully good of @tesco to help roll and lay some drainage channels in my new lawn on Friday night.
“Phones twice to complain but still no call back! Please retweet as much as you can folks.”

In less than 24 hours the post had been retweeted more than 9,000, and garnered 14,800 likes.
But, it split opinions among social media users.
One person wrote: “I’ve lost count of the times that delivery drivers have driven into my lawn when revering into the drive of our neighbour opposite.”
While another said: “It’s definitely not a new lawn! Bit petty if you ask me.”

To which one person replied: “Subjective I suppose, I wouldn’t be impressed if any van drove across my lawn when there is a clear driveway to use ha.”
Another person wrote: “Your complaining about them driving over your grass to delivery ‘your’ food. If you didn’t want them to do so get off your bottom and get the shopping yourself.”
While another commented: “I can’t believe the excuses people are making for this or think you’re the one in the wrong for complaining!
“I own a haulage firm so know all about delivering in tight spaces. If you don’t think you can, you agree a plan, not just drive anywhere, just because it’s there!”
The Sun Online has approached both the homeowner and Tesco for comment.

The clip has come to light just days after a woman slammed Tesco when one of their delivery drivers smashed into her car, then took off.
Taking to TikTok to share footage of the hit and run, Kylie Stillman warned Tesco the company it had “damage to pay”.
