During an incident in Russia recently, a wheeled loader driver rammed the machine into a row of cars as well as a van, before the piece of equipment then ground to a halt. At this point one of the owners of the vehicles that had been damaged jumped up and began pummelling the wheeled loader driver. Other enraged vehicle owners quickly appeared and the wheeled loader driver stumbled out of the machine cab, to be further assaulted by those surrounding him. The wheeled loader driver was barefoot and seemed to be drunk, although this would not necessarily explain his actions. He no doubt will have time to regret his foray as it seems unlikely the owners of those vehicles he managed to mangle will forgive and forget.

    The owner of a high performance Lamborghini Aventador may have reason to regret trusting a valet to park the car outside a hotel in Monaco. The valet successfully reversed the car, which is wide and features limited rearward visibility, into a comparatively narrow space. However the driver then revved the 6.5litre V12 engine for the benefit of onlookers, forgetting the car was still in gear. The sports car leapt forward and bashed into the side of an SUV. Although the damage to the Lamborghini was limited t
