My 'friend' might have got caught doing a handbrake turn in the uni car park. It may have been a near perfect 180 into parking space, but my friend's smugness quickly disappeared after getting a b
king from a passing nimby.
My friend also did something similar at college, a perfect 180° handbrake into a parking space, only to be soundly chastised by the headmaster and groundskeeper at the same time. king from a passing nimby.

Back in 1989, my friend called the AAA when he first rented a car in the USA and it wouldn't start after he stopped for fuel. It was the first automatic car he had ever driven. Can you guess what?
Very similar to my friend on his first visit to the USA in 1992, also driving an automatic for the first time ever. He drove to the hotel from the airport and then sat in the car park with his wife for about 20 minutes trying to work out why he couldn't get the key out of the ignition.Edited by Breadvan72 on Monday 20th January 18:30
Same friend ripped the front tyre off his Triumph 1500 whilst attempting to do a J turn in a (thankfully) empty supermarket car park. At midnight. With no spare wheel in the car.
I cant verify any of this BUT a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend, of a bloke at work, once went out for a 'beer' and misjudged a corner on his way home, no cars hit but there was a pile of sand that acted as a Harrier ski jump, which put him through the boundary fence of the house, luckily this was chain link fencing. apparently he just sat there waiting for all hell to break loose and contemplating his future, as he was just about to swap his wife for a new model( and wanted to surprise her!!) and the new job that involved driving was fast disappearing before his eyes, and after several minutes no one, but no one came out of their houses to check what must have been an almighty noise, so he buggered off PDQ and has never had more thn one pint when driving since, in fact he is now hooked on Tonic water ice and lemon.
however as i said ,this was told to me sometime (40 years) ago

My "friend" can vaguely remember falling into a road (after a couple of shandies) and unfortunately heard the sound of quickly applied brakes.
Fortunately the car was being driven by a highly trained member of the local constabulary and he managed to swerve around my friend.
Unfortunately answering Bates, Master Bates with a cunning Roger Moore style raised eyebrow when asked his name wasn't one of his finer moments.
Fortunately my friend woke up in his own bed and didn't have his collar felt.
My friend can also vaguely remember another time defiling a wall with urine and falling over when being chased by the long arm of the law. I believe this incident made the Monmouth gazette and cost a few pounds.
Another time my friend woke up with a concrete street sign in the kitchen and a 300 metre scatch mark on the road that had to be rubbed out.
Since getting married and having children my friend is no longer allowed out.

My friend was once staying in accommodation in a Royal Naval Shorebase, got so pant wettingly drunk he locked himself outside of his room and equally paralytic roommates. Completely naked. Cue lots of door banging whilst naked, even an attempt to scale the outside wall to a 2nd story window, still naked. Eventually gave up and went to hammer on the door till drunken oppos needed a pee.
Also once snapped a Vauxhall Astra GTE in half and sent the gearbox 200m.
Drove his 1.3 4 door metro into the back of a Golf which can stop much better than a battered Metro.
Fishtailed a Pug 405 across all lanes of the M3 before falling over, backwards down the hard shoulder, vehicle tilted 90 degrees with the tarmac rushing past his elbow.
Decided he had far more talent than was actually available on his Cagiva Mito and bottled it on a bend and hit the kerb upright, Bike flipped, as he was sliding down the road on his heels and shoulders looked to his right disdainfully as previously mentioned Mito slid past him (incidentally, only 50m from the Metro - Golf interaction).
Decided to test his talent once again, this time on a GSXR 600, only to fail miserably and drop it on a roundabout. Fortunately his knee was already on the floor so not too far to fall.
Rode said GSXR back home with only the stub of a rear brake lever and no front lever. Replaced front brake lever and immediately back out to meet mates for post ride coffees.
Was once pulled over on the same GSXR by the fine Devon Constabulary having chased him (over the horizon) for the past 20 miles. Camera footage was fortunately only at 87mph and not the potential 140-160 that I heard he may have been doing.
He used to be a knob, doesn't get much opportunity to do the same now as he now lives in one of the most congested cities in the world and has a driver to ease the pain.

Nar, just the standard blackmail gig. Leave the bag behind the hot water pipes at Victoria Station. I don't judge morally, I just want the money.
Second washroom or third washroom?My "friend" initially lost his licence within the 6 month period after obtaining 6 points!
He went on to lose it a second time some years later and totted it up to 18 with such heinous acts of driving with no insurance, no tax, bald tyres and the like.....He eventually learned the hard way!
Once, he also got so wasted on a works night out, and with a non existent recollection of a portion of said night when seperated from friends, he eventually received a summons to court for not paying a public order offence fine..... He was so embarrassed that he couldnt remember what he had actually done and would be trying to defend himself against that he phoned said court and negotiated payment to make the "situation" go away!

Only found this thread last night, great to see one that hasn't descended into the usual slanging match 
My friend had several incidents in his mid to late teens whilst growing into adulthood and learning about life.
When learning to drive at the age of 17, my friend managed to persuade his mum to let him drive her car for additional practice (keep the cost of his driving lessons to a minimum). He worked at the same factory as his mum so after convincing her that he had already had over 5 lessons and was competent, they agreed he would drive to and from work. As it happens, he had only taken his first lesson and truth be told hadn't even managed to change gear properly. On the first occasion of driving to work on a particularly stty day, still dark in the morning, pouring with rain, my friend managed to drive his mum's car into a stationary skip that was at the side of the road. To make matters worse, said skip has flashing yellow lights on each corner, and was just 100 yards down the road from workplace. Quite a large workplace with over 300 employees of whom a large proportion saw said incident on their way to work. Car was a write off (but only a Fiat 500), friend is still occasionally reminded of this incident when out drinking with other friends.
Around 1 year later (after my friend had passed his test), he was drinking in the local pub. Around 10:00 PM on a Friday night out with the lads having consumed some pints of the local beer. Another friend unexpectedly arrives in pub waving keys in the air for his brand spanking new car, an Escort XR3i. My friend was very interested in the new car, went out to car park for a ganders, and somehow managed to persuade his friend to hand over the keys after promising him he'd only just got to the pub and was on his first pint (hic). My friend then proceeded to head for his nearesttest track favorite B road to evaluate this 5 hour from dealer car. He may have got somewhat carried away (not at all influenced by copious amounts of beer), and after failing to negotiate and sharp bend at some speed fly into and out of a ditch at the side of the road. Unfortunately his velocity was so great that on exiting the ditch in an upwards direction he was still carrying substantial speed and proceeded through a dry stone wall, touched down in the field at the other side and managed to complete 3 full barrel rolls. Amazingly my friend and two other passengers suffered cuts and scratches but no broken bones. They were able to get out of the car, somewhat shaken but in one piece and able to walk and talk. As the B road was quiet there were no witnesses to the incident, my friend walked 1 mile back to the nearest pub and called a taxi to take him back to the originating pub where one concerned person was wondering where his brand spanking new XR3i was. After fessing up to the car owner, a cunning plan was devised. Reported in the local press the following week was the woeful tale of a young man who upon taking delivery of his brand new pride and joy had it stolen just a few hours later. The car was eventually found wrecked in a farmers field some 20 miles away. Fortunately as far as the boys in blue were concerned it was a simple case of theft/joyriding and the car owner was fully compensated by his insurance company. My friend has never driven under the infuence since that event over 30 years ago.
