well i guess you must have an endless supply of wing mirrors for your own car, or a very understanding insurer?!

Not legal, unreasonable, perhaps a little childish.

We all have our pet peevs about motoring (mine is people jumping quese by going down the wrong lane and cutting in at the last minute! grr!!) but just rise above it.

Try the ones that park 'half on and half off' in residential streets - the drivers clearly have no concerns over the path user, the woman with pushchair or kiddie being forced into the road - I feel a very long scratch coming on!!

Nope. Sorry. Technically those are EXPENSIVE to fix, so that's vandalism of other people's property.


it's just you & me babe :)
uhm no. thats destruction of someone elses property!
you can get in some major trouble for that. its called a misdemeanor! the people who the car belongs to, can file charges and make you pay for more than what you broke.

I doubt it's legal. Probably not reasonable either. An awesome method of dealing out vigilante justice? - Certainly!

If you're worried about what people said about it's illegal when you're driving a car, consider using a bicycle. My bike had these metal up-handles (don't know what they're really called: metal bits at the end of the handlebars which stick up by 90 degrees, were probably supposed to stick down instead). One day when cycling along, I didn't notice the queue of traffic in front until really late. My brakes weren't working too well either, and so I ended up going down the left hand side of this queue of cars really fast. Until, that is, I hit a wing mirror of a car clean off.....

lol.....yes, mad people do it all the time, & get away with it because the Police will only intervene if they have proof (that is if someone sees you doing it).
it was done to me by a mad woman who thinks she can get away with anything..lol


jessica aka skitzo
not by far.

Hell to the no! that is dangerous. What if you went a little too far?

No!
It is never legal, ethical or safe to damage other persons' property.
Bad things will happen to you.

Not legal, crime, can be ticketed and arrested. Falls under vandalism. Definately unreasonable. You risk causing an accident to yourself and others. Grow up

You know you're in the wrong, don't ask us to validate your idiocy. If it bothers you that much, why don't you take their registration numbers and report them? Too lazy?

Not worth the hassle you could get

Yeah it's fine. My dad did it for years, double yellow lines or not. They should park their cars properly. Too scared to do it myself.

This guy probably has never done this. He is trying to attract attention. If he does it, he will, not the kind he wants though.

It is against the law to purposefully hit anything or anyone at anytime while you are in a motor vehicle. It is considered wreckless driving and intensional destruction of private property.

Just plaster the morons windsheild with notes saying "Learn How to Park"

Why not go the whole hog and attach swords to your wheels, then you can get the tyres as well!
I know it's infuriating but I think you'll find it's slightly illegal!

Well, from your statement, it sounds like you are crossing double solid yellow lines, which means you are breaking the law there. Plus you intentionally hit another car, which is illegal (not sure what the charge is there) and you are leaving the scene of an accident.

Definitely not legal and not reasonable.

Would make a great sport though....

If you mean with your car, yes, wouldn't want you to injure your hand on some ******'s car. They are the one's in the wrong. Who else is going to bring justice to the world?
