I have an 18 year old Nissan and if some prick opens his door into my car I'll get out and have a go at him (if he leaves a mark). After all, it's my car, and I want to make as much money back as I can on it when I go to sell it. Dent my car and you'll regret it. I agree there is no reason why the bastards should get away with it. My brother is a branch manager for an Insurance company he tells me the type of people who usally damage cars in parks, let supermarket trolleys loose will be commonly be bad arses. Ie they dont have a liscence, disqualified, their car probaly wont be road legal and they dont care. Way to get them back if you have the time is to follow them back to their homes and ring police most of the time the police will get interested when they hear the address. |

Hornby Mall in Christchurch use to be a real shocker, if you when in to the AMI office in the mall the first question they asked use to be "did you have an accident in the mall carpark?". It's improved slightly but its still pretty poor. Would have to agree. Here in the UK disabled and Parent/Child parks are extra wide to allow the car doors to fully open to allow easy access. |

I left it parked in a car park, came back jumped in and started it up, it came up in the air as usual so I drove away, I heard funny ripping sound so stopped and got out to look and the stupid idiot parked behind me had been so close that they had their bumper over my tow bar. Now if I had gone to the boot with some shopping I might have seen how close they were, as it was I had ripped their bumper clean off. I left a note with details but also that I didn't expect them to contact me as they obviously did not know how to drive or park a car. And luckily I never heard from them. | gary67 (56) | ||

Phew,for a minute I thought fire bombing was coming up. |
