Oh the humanity!I knew that was the typical response you were likely to give
You are aware, for instance, that there is such a thing as car leasing, and that at the end of the lease one has to pay for damage to the bodywork including scratches? You knew that, right?
Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

Let me get this straight. Your hatred of cars is such, you actually think someone who causes a three-figure amount of damage through gross negiglence and reckless behaviour shouldn't have to be made to pay it, if the damage happens to be inflicted on a car? You must be fairly well off if you think having to fork out several hundred Pounds for something that isn't your fault is a trivial matter.
You know, I expected this kind of fundamentalist-level hatred bullshit from the likes of teuchter and edcraw, but not from you...

Hello
If you leave stuff just lying around on the road it's going to get damaged.

Doesn't look like you have managed. Have another attempt.

Apparently this is an implicit threat of violence and says a lot about you, according to someone on this thread.

But no problem with twat’s in SUVs endangering kids lives as they’re in a bit of a rush?
Might want to check your priorities mate.

Hello
It definitely is. Though by saying that I guess it's now explicit. I'll keep an eye out for the polis.

I think the idea that cars are somehow sacred objects that can’t have a single scratch or mark of daily wear on them is a great example of how far down the rabbit hole we’ve gone.Let me get this straight.

I wonder what targets you have in mind. Cars, delivery vans, ambulances, children's lemonade stands, cats?

Hello
People who deliberately misunderstand things on forums.
Yep - shitty status symbols for shitty people.

I'm sure when you bought your car you went out of your way to find one which was badly scratched and scraped, so you could save money by not paying a premium for vanity?

Not when you bought it no, although it's no surprise that you've had many collisions with stationary objects since then.

Really no concept of anything outside your bubble have you?
Okay - what’s the point in buying a new car except just to throw away some money from the off?

Hello
Actually if you need a car a bubble car is a fine choice.

You crossed out new, which I took to mean buying any car at all.
OK, even if you think only idiots buy new cars, how do you think used cars appear for sale?
Rentals, people leasing & idiots buying new cars. Next.

That's a good point for another discussion, but the bottom line is that in many cases a car doesn’t belong to the person driving it it, yet they are liable to pay the lessor or legal owner for any damage to the bodywork. And if the damaged is caused by a third party acting like a fucking dickhead, then that third party should fucking pay for the repair, not the person in charge of the car.
And yes, edcraw , any dent or scratch however small will cost a three-figure amount to fix. What fucking universe do you live in?

Hello
Looks like it, aye. I'm taking from the picture showing damaged bikes that those bikes were indeed damaged.
Yep - you’d be an idiot to leave a bike chained up there for more than a few hours & certainly not overnight.The same will undboutedly apply to stuff lying around on pavements, of course...
Yep - I’m saying that’s small beer, after all a tank of petrol is 3 figures, and certainly compared to the live of a child which you seem to be saying is comparable.And yes, edcraw , any dent or scratch however small will cost a three-figure amount to fix. What fucking universe do you live in?

There's one of those bike rack things at the bottom of our road. I've trained the dog to use it as a urinal.

As far as I’m aware I’ve never hit anything
and yes it had various scratches all over it when it came into my possession. Who cares?Fresh scrapes and dents still occasionally appear though, usually in car parks or when I’ve left it outside in the badlands of north Birmingham
C’est la vie, it always starts and moves me from a to b when required, which is all it ever needs to do.

That’s a good one. I suppose you think pedestrians should just get life insurance instead of expecting their families to try and bring the perpetrators of any fatal accident to justice.
