Poll: Angry driver rams neighbour’s car – should you ever touch another person’s car?

Has your neighbour ever parked their car outside your house? This woman in the US has taken her retaliation to the extreme.

Footage of an angry driver pushing their neighbour’s car down the street – after it was parked in front of the “wrong” house – has gone viral on social media platform TikTok.

A string of videos uploaded by TikTok user Joewella DeVille detail the act and aftermath of her unoccupied Toyota RAV4 SUV being pushed down her street in the US state of New York – after it is parked in front of an angry neighbour’s house.

In a follow-up video, the neighbour claims she has complained about DeVille’s car being parked outside her house “three times” – and that she “doesn’t want the car in front of her house.”

However, the social media user and videographer argues there are no restrictions on parking on their street – 24 hours a day and seven days a week – and calls her neighbour “insane”.

According to subsequent videos, the aggressor was charged with a ‘Class E’ offence – which is said to result in a fine of up to $US3000 ($AU44600, or at least a year in jail. The damage to the TikTok user’s Toyota RAV4 is said to amount to $US4500 ($AU6700).

“I have a good sport set up in my house so that I can film the whole thing… hopefully that juicy video of her being arrested will be coming soon,” the TikTok user said in a later video.

While having a stranger’s car (or even a neighbour’s car) parked in front of your house may be frustrating, there’s generally very little you can do about it.

In Australia, if the car is registered and parked legally (within permit restrictions), it can stay there for as long as the owner wants. If a car’s registration has expired, and the vehicle seems abandoned, you can contact your local council to request to have it removed.

If you are suspicious about a parked car, and it doesn’t belong to any neighbours, you can call the local (non-emergency) police station and flag it as a potentially stolen vehicle.

Should you ever take the law into your own hands? We say no, but what are your thoughts?

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
