Heck No people have weak legs you could hit them and take away therir legs forever. What a stupid question

You are kidding right? Go ahead if you want somebody to have you charged with assault. Geez, what a self-important question to ask!

I think it is time to turn in your driver licence.
Captain T2 is an idiot who would have landed in jail if a parent had witnessed him deliberately running into a school-age child.

Yes that's fine, just remember to throw some coins down in the street if you run one over.


Bunny
Sure and run them down if they are too slow, too fat, or too ugly, while you're at it!

I guess some people don't have anything better to do than to post stupid questions here.

If you 'nudge' them you might knock them over and run over them. Better to speed up and simply knock them out of the way. Don't want to bloody up the underside of the car; do we? Had a human leg wrapped around my driveshaft once - cost a fortune to have it removed and keep the mechanic quiet about it.

No... it could possibly damage the car should they decide to throw something at you

Typical atheist comments. GOD is keeping score, Toast.

I would say so. I mean you wouldn't want to surprise them and potentially cause serious damage. Oh, and then there's the damage to the people to consider as well...

You have never known the joys of New York City, where this battle rages every moment of every day. Pedestrians learn rather quickly how to bang both hands on the hood and utter "What you lookin at"?

Well we do that with cattle and sheep... so pedestrians are right up there on my list.

I do this often...only making exceptions for small children and old people. The small children don't know any better..so in that case I aim for the parents who should be watching their little ones better. Old people cant help the act that they are slow, and are given extra time. Anyone else is fair game.

You're supposed to slow down first? Oops.

Only if THEY are equipped with firearms and armor piercing shells.

One HAS to be fair, after all.


The Violator!
Of course!

But the best way is to hit them at sufficient speed to get them mounted on the bonnet - then you can drive around using them as a 'mascot', wonderful sport!

Not only is it OK, it is encouraged. Sometime those guys need to be reminded that there's something bigger and badder than them out there.

It is never okay to "nudge" pedestrians with your car.


Your Teeth or Mine?
Sure.Mom always said it's a great way to communicate with strangers.I always liked her "Well if you didn't have so much cellulite my car would never been near ya ya cow'" that she'd politely yell out the window as we nudged past yet another one.

Sure or honk the horn like crazy and enjoy the expression on their face. lol

I personally prefer a more subtle passive-agressive approach and aim for their carts...


KingAndrew
Nudging is okay, I prefer to sneak up on them and blast the horn. It is always so much fun to watch them throw packages in the air from the sudden blast of my horn. Although, age is a deterrent, the older ones seem to just grab their chest and fall over, boring.

I have wanted to do that so many times LOL

are you kidding me?!

It's nice to get a friendly nudge!! Just hope you don't mind the butt marks on your car!! (lol)


Magzâ„¢ AMCNAS leader
clearly it's okay, if they were supposed to have the right of way, they'd have a bigger car...


Siar
what you mean there are pedestrians in the parking lot?, i thought they were speed bumps no wonder they made that funny noise when i went over them

Some pedestrians may gently pull the trigger in response!


GUY bein' a GUY
NO WAY !

That's what the horn is for.

You drive up very slowly and get right behind them then lay on the horn. After they come back to earth they will move.

Sure. That's why they call them bumpers.

The following is a true story:

I used to live in a rather low-class (we'll call it right-leaning) apartment complex. I was probably about 20 years old. The complex was pretty large and the school bus from the jr.high (which was literally 1/8th of a mile away) dropped the kids off in the entrance, which was about three car lengths wide.
Well, I would leave for work a couple of minutes after the bus dropped off these kids, so I got to watch them and how they treated the drivers trying to leave. They would literally spread out, walking side-by-side, on the street and prevent any cars from leaving until the kids decided they could leave.
One day I happened to leave when the bus dropped them off, so I was met with a line of a**holes who apparently thought they were somehow stronger than my 1500 lb. car. One kid decided to test his strength. I approached them in my car and several of them (the females) moved out of the way. Apparently one boy thought he would impress the young ladies and refuse to move. So I hit him. It was more of a hard nudge. Just enough to knock him out of the way and onto his ***. He sat there stunned as the girls laughed their asses off at him. It was a fine moment.

So, in answer to your question, I think it is more than appropriate to use your car to nudge people, depending on the situation.
