A Chinese driver became so angry with the faults in his newly acquired VW that he drove back to the dealership where he had bought the car and crashed it through the front window. The man had returned to the dealership on a number of occasions to have faults repaired under warranty. He was offered a number of upgrades but remained dissatisfied and at first, took the dealership to court, with the firm then responding with a counter suit of its own.

    Learning record A young driver in Germany managed to be banned from driving a mere 49 minutes after passing his test. Perhaps in jubilation at having passed the test, and no longer having to rely on his friends or ‘dad’s taxi' for transport, the 18 year-old driver inadvisedly pressed pedal to metal. Officers in the town of Hemer, near Dortmund, used a laser unit to determine the vehicle’s speed, seeing that it was travelling at 95km/h in a 50km/h zone. Perhaps he was trying to show his driving skills to hi
