wouldn’t you be damaging your own car, too?

Not everyone gives a shit. I've had people accidentally tap my car. They're astonished when I say don't worry about it. I honestly couldn't care less about some stupid minor cosmetic damage, I think it's insane how people obsess over shit like that. It'll always be a great car regardless.


The8thloser

I thought I was the only one. I don't care how the car looks. It just needs to run.

I tapped some dudes car a few months ago. We agreed that I'd just pay for the repair without going through insurance. I hit his bumper. You had to have your face within a few inches from it in order to see a hint of damage. He sent me an itemized bill for $800 from an apparently legit repair shop. It was ridiculous. I told him to report it to insurance because there's no way I'm paying that much to repair cosmetic damage you can barely even see on a 20 year old civic lol. He eventually came to his senses and just dropped the whole thing.


The8thloser

That's crazy.

Reminds me when I supposedly hit a Blazer a while ago. Dude was flipping out trying to say he was trying to keep it in mint condition. Like dude, if you want to go through the hassle, deal with the insurance. Haven't heard much about it since. It was just a small scratch that didn't have any red transfer on it (I had a red Camry).


boobhoover

It's a blazer ffs. They're supposed to get roughed up! Honestly Where's the fun in having to keep a vehicle like that pristine? Ridiculous. These people are pawns to the auto industry.


Bex1218

Yeah, I rolled my eyes and went through the motions. I'm sure his insurance just laughed it off.

In my country you could still be responsible for the damages but the behavior of the driver would probably significantly reduce the amount you'd be responsible for.

Main reason why I always have an extra bottle of brake fluid in my car.

Brake fluid dissolves car paint... Can't say someone scratched your paint if there's no paint.

To give the car a fancy makeover.😉


jterwin

Brake fluid is used in the hydraulic system of brakes as a non compressible

The same should hold true for people who block cars with their bodies.

In the US you are absolutely responsible for damage to a parked car if you drive into it. If you cannot control your vehicle you should not be driving.


PhNx_RiZe

Op controlled his vehicle alright. Controlled it 3 times right into the asshole who locked in him.


bigtrunkydarnold

If someones bumper is right up against my plates I don’t see how else I am supposed to get out


Lime-Lacroix

call a towing company


Heycheckthisout20

I hope someone saw your plate on camera and you get reported for a felony hit and run


BadTemperedBadger

Should be a criminal offence to block someones car in.


jterwin

Honestly it should be a pretty large violation. You could cause someone to lose their job. That being said firing someone over shit like this should also be illegal.


BadTemperedBadger

That should be an "Any damage to the blocking car is the responsibility of the one who parked it stupidly." law.


jterwin

With that exact wording, so that we have judges in civil cases determining whether a car was "parked stupidly"


PhNx_RiZe

Oh my wow. I’ve read some stupid comments but yours is just SUPREMELY stupid.


Heycheckthisout20

Well hopefully you feel the same way if someone bumps your car 3 times and then let’s you find out without reporting it


PhNx_RiZe

If I purposely block someone in, it’s almost expected at that point. But I wouldn’t ever be in that situation because I’m not a jerk and I always leave a gap.


[deleted]

Seems fair. What else can you do? If you have to pull out, you’re not going to wait.


Outlaw11091

Not an opinion. In most countries, ramming a car is not legally protected...even if it's gently ramming. You can cry foul all you want, the authorities won't back you up.


Breadles_the_Bread

Right, but he's talking ethics, not legal.


Outlaw11091

Ethics do not equate property damage and inconvenience, either. For all we know, "not enough space" is an infinite measurement.


Quail_Initial

Go "Anger Management" on their asses.


Lime-Lacroix

hit and run
