I just wanted to say thanks to the coward in the black pick up truck who reversed into my car yesterday whilst I was in Tempo and decided to do a 'hit and run'



I am sick of leaving my car here in a car park to come back and find someone has smashed into it!



I will be keeping and eye out for your black truck at Tempo in future, I will definitely recognise it as it will be the one with its front bumper smashed in as you also managed to drive into and KNOCK OVER one of Tempo's heavy concrete cylinder 'planters' dividing the car park

If you can't drive stay off the road!!



Also in regards to Tempo perhaps you can install some sort of metal work for people in the car park to return their trolleys to (like in Lemar).. Then maybe there won't be 3 'crossing the road' by themselves.. Not only annoying but also very dangerous!! Yes a person could walk back 30 seconds to put it outside the shop front but clearly people can't be bothered and leave them on a vertical slope.

The same thing happened to my friend in Supreme car park twice.

It really infuriates me! It also happened to me at Escape last summer and I even saw the girl do it from afar and I thought 'no she wouldn't have scratched the whole side of my car and driven off like that' got up close and yes of course she had.. Every panel scratched..



Why don't they park on the road if they find it so hard to maneuver in car parks?



I couldn't just crash into someones car and drive off i'd be too ashamed.. At least leave a note! I thought this is what insurance is for?



Someone also (drunk) reversed into my car in Tango to Buddha car park- luckily their CCTV saw it and we went out and swapped details but I'm sure they would have also driven off



The black truck yesterday had free space on its left hand side- so HOW it still couldn't get out with out knocking into two things it really makes me wonder. Lucky it was just a car and not a human!

Try and park away from anybody else. Not always easy at busy times. Erderners is a nightmare. Its a wonder nobody has been killed going in and out of that car park. When I visit now I go into the next bank of shops further along and walk.

Yes, Erdener was terrible. I used to park in the strip next door, where the bank and cafe are.

I was in the supermarket the other day. Coming out an elderly wealthy looking English woman was trying to squeeze out of her truck. She wasn't even in a parking bay as I had the last one next to the exit.

She had pulled in too tight she was pushing her heavy door into my little car. I confronted her and she just stared at me. Looked at me squeezed back into her Truck and drove off.....it was so obvious she had been drinking. I was so mad...if I hadn't come out at that time she would have damaged the car

unlike the crowded big cities, there are lots of parking and manuering spaces on this island.. people are used to park and manuer without paying so much attention.. but when it comes to busy and tight places like market parks problems arise..

Is it a different mindset for locals ? At the Astro carpark I witnessed a lorry driver carelessly reverse into a newish and smart two toned Mitzubishi jeep. It crumpled the rear door and scored the metal almost the length of one side of the vehicle. When I saw the lorry driver take a look at the damage then get back into the lorry to leave I got out of my vehicle and ran to the exit of the carpark so that I could get the registration number of the lorry as it disappeared into traffic. I returned to my car, wrote the detail down, then sat and waited 20 minutes for the Mitzubishi driver to return to his damaged vehicle. I spoke to him and he responded in English. He glanced at the damage and showed no emotion whatsoever, handed me back the detail of the lorry, shrugged his shoulders, looked at me with distain as if I were a snitch, got into the vehicle and drove off without as much as a goodbye !
