It's all how a culture values life. In America, it's not uncommon for a motorist to hit a motorcyclist and simply say he/she didn't see him which absolves them of some, if not most, responsibility. In Japan, if you do that, it's an admission of guilt and off to jail you go. The way they see it over there, if you have a license to drive a car, you are held to a strict standard of accountability that comes with the license.

All the best,

Wow how interesting is this thread??

"A Prime Minister of Sweden received a DUI in Stockholm and never drove again till his death 20-odd years later."

So he finally got to drive again in the afterlife? Good for him....

"A recent US President received dozens of DUI's and his license was suspended for zero days ."

Sorry, but I'm going to have to call bulls*&t on this one until you can produce further evidence.

Some people do certain things like parking in handicapped zones because people or the store/establishment won't report them. If the store reported it, that car would have been towed and that would have ended that behavior. If the store/establishment knew. Which, from what I read above, they did. If you see something, say something. But, most people ignore bad behavior and simply mumble something and walk away. I don't think is was about door dings and more about not getting the store stolen. Handicapped spots are directly in front of the stores.

I've also seen very expensive cars park wayyy out in the lot away from every other car only to come out later and one person just had to park right next to it. no other cars near.

Point is there are jerks on both sides.

Get your car towed once in LA and you won't do that again. It is a real pain to get your cars back.

The ticket writer and tow truck drivers don't know and couldn't care less who the car belongs to. They will write the ticket and tow the car. Police can run the license plates. Not ticket writers or tow truck drivers.

The best thing to do is not confront the car owner, but go complain to the store/establishment owner/manager.

Anyway, my rant. It goes both ways.
