He is going to get a still made of it and put it in the newspapers.

More publicity - is the individual recruiting.....?!

"Don't people realise having a BMW or Merc comes with ownership of the highways?

If you have a Merc it also entitles you to hold traffic up like a tractor does, the longer the queue the more kudos."

I've looked on the Merc site and seen that they do not offer indicators as one of the available options. Surely they should review this judging by the fact that none of the feckers ever actually use them and expect everybody to know where they are heading.

I'm not holding my breath.

Don't worry - if they do catch him, he'll be punished severely with a slap on the wrist and a £5 fine. Don't let anyone tell you that the British police aren't interested in stamping out low level criminal damage and vandalism.

Update on car damage.

Constable Plod has investigated and says the CCTV has a good picture of the immigrant damaging another car in our street. He is going to get a still made of it and put it in the newspapers.

I'm not holding my breath.

My god - where on earth do you live?!!

Well done on "doing your bit" regarding the BMW!!

I live in London on the weekends, and another place during the week.

I'm a bit mad about damage to cars at the moment as my own was jumped on by some 'north african' at the weekend.

Why almost......?!!

Didn't want to get blood on my studs.

Did you do anything about it such as leave a note on the windscreen of the other cars? An anonymous note with the reg of the BMW would have helped....

I did as a matter of fact. I asked the offending bad driver to leave her details and pretended to photograph her with my phone.

As far as I could see she did leave her details.

He almost got a kicking out of principle alone.

Standard practice in some places. Mate lived in Brussels and they considered bumpers as just that, when parking they kept going till nudging the car behind. Mate not impressed when it happened to his GTi.

Agreed. Me and some mates were going to five-a-side footy game one evening with a French bloke driving us. He parallel parked into a space by hitting the car behind, then hitting the car in front to make enough room.

Looking around at our horrified, mouths agape, expressions he said: "What? It is the French way, no?". He almost got a kicking out of principle alone.

I think that's why Peugeots and Citroens are so mediocre. It's not considered that important that they last!

But, being a woman, she would not have listened, hence the bad parking!!!

It was her driving test. Obvious, really.

[daviejones]

I was waiting for that.

She did have a man with her. (probably telling her how to park!)
