MONEY MORAL DILEMMA. Would you dent someone’s car if they blocked you in?

hotfudge

a similar thing happened to me wen i went shopping the other day.... i wrote the person a note saying that they are a ignorant tos**r and need driving lessons to learn how to park... the funny thing was it was a security guards car and he came running over and caused a scene!!! am just glad i didnt bump him or get the keys to his nice paintwork... i probably would have if kids wernt in the car lol

I don't have a garage, and some of my neighbours across the road hate people parking in front of their houses (it's too narrow to park both sides). One in particular used to park so tight against my back bumper that I couldn't get at my boot to put anything in it. The last laugh, I had a fairly hefty tow bar fitted and noticed that the front of his car under the bumper was covered in little round dents where he had been parking so close. :rotfl: He also came out one day and gave my partner a lot of verbal abuse about parking in front of his house. Swine!! I had a note on my windscreen from another guy across the road, allegedly speaking for all the residents of the road, asking me not to park. :mad: The police came out when my son's car had been broken into & when I showed him the note said it would be worth getting a caution for bopping him on the nose, and that as long as my car is taxed & insured and there are no other restrictions, I can park on the public road. I drive a smallish car so don't think I would get involved in trying to push them out of the way, but I do get savage sometimes about inconsiderate parking!

Yes if i really needed to get out. and if i was in a paying parking space I would phone up the council to insure that the idiot blocking me in got the penalty notice for my parking money running out

If I was confident that I wouldn't damage my car then I probably would. Although, I think I'd get more pleasure from watching their car get towed to be honest so if I wasn't in a rush then that would be my first option.

I once had a similar situation but couldn't nudge the cars as it was in a parking bay not parallel parking. Both cars had parked so close to me that I couldn't even open my door or the passenger door to get into my car. They'd both parked over the white lines which meant their wheels had actually gone into my space!! I had to climb in through the boot to get in my car! I left the angriest notes on both windscreens but it wasn't enough to make me feel any less angry so I went back into the pub who's car park I was in and let them know, as they clamped anyone who used the car park for anything other than the pub and I got on quite well with the landlady. I drove past the car park later and saw that both cars had nice shiny yellow clamps on them

I have relatives in Spain and I've driven down there, and when it comes to parking the rules of the game are if you have a bigger car and someone's in your way, go for it.

I hate it when people are so damn ignorant to pay attention to what they're doing so I'd nudge and budge until I could get out, and if their car is damaged why should I care? There is the chance that you could damage your car, but geez, it's a hunk of metal, I'd be less inclined to do this if I had a brandnew Aston or something like that but otherwise cars get you from A to B, I don't buy cars for looks.

The same thing goes for parking in a car park when you can't get your door open, i'll get into my car one way or another and if their car gets damaged it's their own fault.

I think whether or not someone has blocked you in, gives you no right or reason whatsoever for you to intentionally dent someone else's car. Such an act is criminal and any damage caused is clearly criminal damage - plain and simple. The only time it would be permissable is in an emergency situation.

I live right next to a public car park and the amount of drivers who DELIBERATELY BANG into someone else's car because they have not left them much room to move out is shocking. Incensed drivers openly rev up their car engines and use their car as a battering ram. I have seen cars rock from side to side with the impact. If I recorded all day and night everything I see that people do to each other in the car park, it would make very depressing watching. People's behaviour towards one another in car parks is disgusting and very, very shocking. Women are also just as bad as men.

Another thing I see all the time is that as the car park where I live is free, people queue up all the time to use it and they repeatedly risk their lives by having no holding back shouting matches and get into punch ups over a free parking space and then you see the same people spend over £2.00 on a cup of coffee a bit later in the coffee shop just across the road from the car park!

No need, call the cops on the 0845 no, and the will send a traffic warden who will arrange to have them towed, its agaisnt the law to block somome in.

But who side is at fault? It would be the person to park last, but if you have just gone back to your car, you wouldn't know that.

I used to have an old Volvo saloon with a tow bar attached. Someone blocked me in by parking sideways across the back of my car, so I reversed gently on to the passenger door and pushed it out of the way. It left a perfect indentation of the back bumper and tow hitch in their door - served them right I say. Bet they didn't do it again Just remember, if you have a towbar you can reverse into anything

Alternative solution:

Find half a dozen chavs. Buy them a few cans of Stella each and suggest they tip one of the BMWs out of the way. Problem solved and you didn't do anything wrong!
