I searched for this as a topic and didn’t find anything so I thought I’d start a thread asking for everybody’s opinion.

I spotted this video for the first time on YouTube earlier on and couldn’t help but wonder what the PH masses would do in that situation and how the law would work.

I see 2 hooded thugs attempting to smash the drivers side window of a Bentley with a woman inside using a hammer, a lethal weapon.

If the dashcam driver had run both men over, what would have happened to him. I can’t say what I’d do exactly in that position because it’s easier said than done however I am 85% sure I would have run both of them over. Rightfully so as well, imagine the trauma that poor woman had endured in that moment, why would I (theoretically) the driver let them get away with such a crime, because we all know they won’t get caught and will try it again! What if the window smashed and the hammer hit her in the head?! Motherless scum.



Over to you

I would have steered hard right and gone as far forward as possible in to the next lane. If they chased me down then reverse as far as possible to get away, repeat until I could get away.

Running them over would have been a more then acceptable outcome, I doubt you would get charged if you were just trying to escape.

That’s what I would have done but someone mentioned that there was kids in there, perhaps she was worried for them..the whole situation is fked really, there’s no way to assess what she could have done apart from the man parked there filming the whole ordeal. The cam Car should have rammed both of them, reversed and rammed them again, I don’t think he’d get in trouble, he could argue that he acted on impulse, thought it was an assassination, panicked and went flat out into them.

Perfectly justifiable!

PH search is notoriously st, but FYI there was a thread last year ... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=17...
Thank you that was an interesting read. I’m not sure why the search function is crap, do you just enter the keywords? Don’t get it!

Probably Romanians. Brexit can't come soon enough.
I beg to differ, 2 Romanians work for me and they tell me the reason they have a bad name is because of the gypsies that live over there, Romanians are no different to Bulgarians or Hungarians, it’s the gypsies that give them a bad name!

My guess on their ethnicity would be Asian, a lot of gangs up there so I hear.

If they were after jewellery than perhaps it was an inside job?

The scumbags couldn’t have been riding their mopeds carrying an axe and spotting a big shiny Rolex through the blacked out windows.

As everyone as said, in a situation like that you really don’t know what you’d do but it is fist clenching and blood boiling to watch the thing happen and see them get away! Even if they got caught, people of that kind would probably love it in jail, will make them think they’re harder and come out of prison as hero’s.

Also, I think the woman definitely sold her Bentley and probably bought an X5, I read what she said in an article saying it was probably because of the car, don’t think she’d want to put herself through that again! She also offered a £10,000 reward for the attackers. Interesting !

It’s interesting how the blame has been assigned to the car now! I live in a very wealthy part of Surrey and whenever a new fancy SUV comes out, the roads here are littered with them, it really is a nob swinging fest, people even sacfrice comfort for it, when MB started selling RHD G - Wagens again, I began to see loads of them about. Probably sacrificed comfortable Range Rovers for a boxy 200bhp diesel 40 year old Mercedes because of its road presence. When the new Bentayga come out, same thing and most recently is that hideous Maserati Levorg thingy, dont know the name.

What I’m trying to figure out is, why don’t people buy Flying Spurs or Ghosts? Both cost the same as a bentagya, both have the same amount of seats and are probably more luxurious! What is it about 4x4’s that people want so much?! Unless I have 5 kids, you’ll never see me in one.
