Default Hope to god it wasn't you!

3 films.

Old chap sticks his 75 on a ramp in a mulitistory

Warning lots of F'in and Jef'in as the film makers are some sort of Cockney's

Don't judge the filmers till the end!

Maybe I'm being silly but surely rather than watching the person smash the car up they should have got out and helped them

Watched the whole thing now and still think they were too slow to react poor old man. I've reversed people's cars before as they couldn't get the car in a space.

I think that point had passed quite early on to be fair Thomas.

They could have helped sooner though I agree

Cannot believe those guys sat in their car and did nothing for 10 minutes then decide to help the guy once the damage had been done and they were tired of having a good laugh....

Disgusting! (And that goes for the other chap's driving aswell)! I didn't find in the least bit amusing - I'm dismayed...

Well one thing is for sure, he is going to need a new door. They should of just helped him, instead of watching and laughing at him getting hung up on the railing.

Bit sad isn't it. The driver just appeared to be completely out of control of his vehicle, with no clue how to proceed.
The old boy looked like he was shuffling along whilst walking. Looked to me like he has suffered a stroke at some point in the past. Raises the question should he be driving a big saloon into a multi story car park. And maybe should he even be driving at all in London in 2013. It would be wonderful if we could all keep driving until our last breath, but sometimes you just have to bow to the inevitable.
As for the filmers, yes they should have got out earlier. But at the end of the day everyone has to take responsibility for their own driving.

Are you sure that doesn't look familiar Bob
There has to come a point where you give up driving, and I think the chap who's car it is has passed it

Default car parking

The multi story car park in Woking has a very tight turn onto each floor and if you cut it to close could land up with a dented rear end. fell sorry for this chap cos! it is easily done, as for the donkies who watched him while he was in trouble, just hope it does not happen to them.
