Holy crap, that's painful to watch. Reinforces all of the stereotypes

The Jeep wasn't parked perfectly either, to be fair...

Oh my god! LOL . And you wonder how these people get their licenses

[ES_Revenge]

Did these guys even report her to the police? Of course the police would never even bother I'm sure

Especially after having my car hit in a parking lot a few weeks ago, I would have went out and made a citizen's arrest I will tell you that much. $500+ damage on my car and my bumper will never be the same after being repainted, and the rehab that hit it obviously didn't stick around.

People like this need to be taken out of their cars and beaten severely; also their license should be suspended until they re-test and show they can actually drive.

Absolutely ridiculous. I dunno why the guys filming it think it's funny. I'm sure they wouldn't be laughing if it was their car getting hit. And they wouldn't be laughing if their wife, son, daugther, got in an accident on the road with a driver like this because they suck at driving... If the driver is that bad at parking, imagine how bad they are on the roads. Yet I'll bet they'll never get a ticket and have great insurance rates because they never break the speed limit

This is why our insurance rates are so high because of people like this!!!! We need some serious change in our licensing system here in Ontario. Tougher fines with street racing and speeding have helped but if ppl do not know how to drive!

That sucks - I hope they called the police for the sake of the owner of the Jeep that got scratched.

I know once I had my Corolla parked in a strip mall parking lot (i.e. LCBO, Subway, etc), and it was a bright day in May, no wind - empty parking lot - and a guy in an old green Grand Am was parked right beside my car with their door wide open.

They were parked on the other side of my car as I walked toward it - I looked at my passenger side door and found a ding & green paint.

I can understand someone bumping your car in a crowded parking lot/really windy day, but to park right beside someone when there's dozens of empty spaces and then hit their car?

Argh.

1. I would've keyed their car to be honest.

2. What does wind have to do with parking?

I witnessed something like this at Pmall .... it was so painful to watch, I got out and offered to park it for her ...




But seriously, how the heck do these people get their license? If she has no sense of space and is having a hard time pulling in a parking spot, how did she manage to do a parallel park which is what's required on the G2 exit test?

Did you end up parking it for her? Or was she stubborn and insisted on parking it herself?

On a windy day, you'll see the power of wind. I got a big dent on my when it was still a new car. I parked it far away from store entrance and spaces at both sides were empty when I parked. It was just a short 5 minutes into a Loblaws to get a To Go Meal.

It looks like downtown, against richmond or maybe adelaide. These guys probably don't drive and don't care. Doesn't make it right, and if it was me I would have written down her license plate and left a note on the jeeps windshield.

Easy, they have connections in the licensing system. That, and/or the Ontario government has (in the most stupid move they can make IMO) made it possible to GET A TRANSLATOR TO GET YOUR LICENSE. That's right folks, while the primary language and all of our signs are in english, you don't need to have any knowledge of this language to operate a motor vehicle in this Provence! Isn't it wonderful?


*************edit
I got so frustrated by this post that I e-mailed a bunch of Ontario MPP's. Hopefully it'll make some sort of difference. If any of you agree, I encourage you to do the same. Here's a link to Ontario MPP contact information.

Nice to know people are willing to commit criminal offences. /sarcasm

There is no excuse to commit a criminal offence (in this case vandalism). I hope people like you get caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
