There will have been an emergency release.
Chances are the passengers were too fecking lazy to get up to find out and just preferred to have a moan after he fact, rather than just get off their arses and actually do something.
It's the modern way - apparently.
Just sat down to read my daily, it says "Frustrated passengers took matters into their own hands. They trooped off the tram, grabbed the car by its four corners and lifted it out of the way"Chances are the passengers were too fecking lazy to get up to find out and just preferred to have a moan after he fact, rather than just get off their arses and actually do something.
It's the modern way - apparently.
Then again, papers often get things wrong.

"It did cause quite a lot of disruption because the people on the tram weren't allowed to get off, because they weren't at the stop."
WHY????? stupid government OHS regulations and no one with any balls to use common bloody sense and let people off. More moronic than the mini owner...
Nuts. Somehow I think I would have managed to get off. A stuck train, I can understand that, but a tram!, elf n'safety will be telling us how to wipe our arse next."It did cause quite a lot of disruption because the people on the tram weren't allowed to get off, because they weren't at the stop."

I just completed my risk assessment, safety plan, consulted the various stakeholders, wrote the job safety analysis and double checked with the safety committee.
what ever you do, fold the paper. DO NOT scrunch.

Or it was poor journalism and they got off and move the car.
Gotta love the papers....
Teenage driver and his 3 pals, parked on pavement directly outside the post office. Just before a zebra crossing, in a 20mph zone.
I asked the driver if he knew what the zig zags meant, he said no, so I told him it was because of the crossing and that it would attract points and a fine if a copper saw him.
5mins later when I came back the other way, he was still there. Fckwit.

Worrying thing is, if he genuinely didn't know the answer, what else doesn't he know. I asked the driver if he knew what the zig zags meant, he said no, so I told him it was because of the crossing and that it would attract points and a fine if a copper saw him.

Quite right. He did accuse me, when I drove past before having words with them, of trying to run his mate over, ie the guy who was standing in the road next to the car, waiting to get into the offside door while the driver was still sitting in his seat. I almost wished for the BiB to come along and spare the rest of us from their f
kwittery.

Not so much bad parking as such, but just for info. In the papers today is a Merc which has been parked in the bowels of a multi story car park in Birmingham for 3 years.
To date it has racked up £14,235 in parking fees.
They have failed to trace the owner, so they have contacted the local authority to remove it, any spares anyone.

t like this they'll sue and the company will get fined for not letting them off at a safe stop. Blame the ambulance chasers 99% of the time.irocfan said:

TBH I doubt its the Tram company's fault. If they let someone off not at the stop and they trip on a line or some stupid st like this they'll sue and the company will get fined for not letting them off at a safe stop. Blame the ambulance chasers 99% of the time.
Completely agree. Executing lawyers and starting the legal system over again would be a big step forward in society and civilisation. If we can't execute them then can we apply the sentence/fine of the person they are defending/representing? [joke alert... sometimes]t like this they'll sue and the company will get fined for not letting them off at a safe stop. Blame the ambulance chasers 99% of the time.Europa1 said:

I don't know what it is about premium 4x4s, but they do seem to attract drivers with a fantastic sense of self-entitlement.
There's where the self-entitlement comes from right there. In many people's eyes a premium 4x4 is just better than anything else on the road and therefore if you drive one you are simply a better person
