Went to the local KFC last night with a mate and when getting back into my car (a rather tired looking MK1 MR2) I saw a car drive past with 2 young ladies driving but with a green dot 'darting' about their face.

Now, the car park in question has recently been taken over by the local 'barrys' and they race around it like it's their own little racetrack.

So as I jump in the car I say to my mate that some tt has a green laser but I think they're at the other side of the car park. As soon as I start reversing I get almost blinded by the green laser bouncing off the interior mirror.... a quick glance round and I can tell that it's coming from one of 3 cars sitting behind me (top of my memory a new'sih Vectra, a Focus and an Astra).

Kinda without thinking I jumped out the car and ran over to the front of the 3 cars asking who the TWUNT with the laser was, there were 6 guys in the cars in total from what I could count who all then sat very stoney faced.

I suppose my question is, why on earth would someone who's obviously into their cars try and blind another driver? I just don't get it?!


Oh, and if it was you with the laser and you're reading this, you are a fking little of a tt!!!!

"Ah, I'm blind". Stick foot flat to floor as you panic, reversing at full speed in to the twunt pointing the laser. Wait for Police to come and arrest twunt with laser.

Situations like this occur about 3 times a week for me. I have no idea why people act/do things like this so I've stopped trying to understand...

Well, it's a good thing you have more patience than some Greek taxi drivers. I don't see why using a pepper spray is illegal but fking around with a laser doesn't even get a slap on the wrist by the law.

Same mentality as the twunts who shine them at helicopter pilots. Absolute dog botherers of the highest order.

unfortunately their car wasn't directly behind me as there was a pedestrian walkway between my parking space and theirs. I did wonder what would happen if I crashed into them because they shone a laser in my eyes

ring your local police anyway.

Sooner or later the little tts will cause an accident.

Whoa there! You don't need balls to do that. The ball shaped ones are the proper shrapnel spewing explosive ones. Smoke grenades are usually cylindrical aren't they?

Be careful with that, you might get in trouble if you lob the wrong one.

Shoot them with a green paintball gun and ask them if they mind being blinded whilst trying to reverse. Some people are plain thick and think it is funny to do things like this.

The only decent thing laser pens can be used for is shining at pigoens and deterring them from stting on your nice clean car. Seems to scare them stless, obviously i have never done this biglaugh or i am sure i would be visited by the rspca!!

I called the coppers due to some scum chavs pointing their lasers at cars on the M2 from a flyover one winters evening, rush hour. Counted at least 8 beams as I past.

Really dangerous so I dailed 999 explaining the situation.

I got a bking for dailing 999....... Apparently a multicar motorway pile up isn't a concern here in NI.

I believe that here in Aus laser pointers are now considered a weapon and you need a damn good reson for owning one...all due to people doing silly things with them like shining them at aircraft and cars.

Im surprised these things arent cracked down on more heavily, you've seen the way the authorities react when someone has one at a football game, both here and on the continent. I was watching a game last season i think it was Liverpool in *thinks* Prague was it? And there was a major hoo haa about a green laser in Pepe Reina's face.

If the police arent interested all you can do is hope the braindead future organ doner idiots using them in car parks soon blind somebody who crashes into them at high speed resulting in them being removed from the scene in a zip up bag. Because as non-politically correct as it sounds, thats what they deserve. People as thick as that have nothing to give society.

I use them to deter the seagulls from nesting in my chimney. They really dislike the violet blue UV ones.
Actually reading threads like this annoys me because I own a variety of different laser pointers which I am able to use and enjoy responsibly without feeling the need to shine them at cars/planes/helicopters etc, and I know that the actions of fools like the ones the OP mentions will no doubt mean that the state decides nobody is allowed to have them frown

I've had this whilst out with mates walking towards the pub, couple of lowlifes driving past in a silver 106gti (complete with tintz and a wikid exhaust) shining their stupid laser pen into as many peoples eyes as they could before driving off.

I can only hope the occupants of said car get shoved into a potato chipping machine.
