At last a good use of the dumbass tag.

Other cars? What about the first?

I lol'd when I read they charged him for driving without insurance.

At an earlier hearing Oldroyd pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking and damaging a Mercedes car, and being reckless as to whether life was endangered.

what? That's actually a whole paragraph from TFA... these guys suck at english.. which is ironic.

Bubba wants to take YOU for a joyride! Enjoy PMITA prison.

After reading the headline, I searched google for a snarky Finding Nemo "I want to go home" picture and instead found this:

Dad?

Wikipedia is failing me, but wasn't there a bus in one of the Twisted Metal games?

Aggravated vehicle taking and damaging a Mercedes vehicle. Must be special circumstances for Mercedes where a Jaguar would have resulted in a lighter sentence.

Now with You Tube goodness (new window)

Soon it was winter trees and dark, my brothers, with a country dark, and at one place I ran over something big with a snarly, toothy rot in the headlamps, then it screamed and squelched under, and old Dim at the back near laughed his gulliver off.

We could viddy the name on the gate of this cottace veshch was HOME, a gloopy sort of name...

I want to die like my uncle, all calm and sleepy, not screaming like his passengers.

LockeOak: I lol'd when I read they charged him for driving without insurance.

Hello, Geico? Yes, I'm planning to steal a bus tonight, and I'd like to take out a policy...

Full coverage, of course...

Well there is the problem, he was driving on the wrong side of the road. Always so easy to spot the stupid criminals.

My BF and I watch Cops with Cameras (UK) and Car Crime (UK). This dude will probably get 30 days community service ;P

/if you want to do crime, do it in the UK ;)

"cottace" = "cottage", dammit. Almost got it right. That was a passage from one of my favorite books, "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying".

Purple_Jack: Now with You Tube goodness (new window)

i watched the video.. it wasnt the guys fault.. everyone else was driving on the wrong side of the road!

Good thing he didn't have a knife or he'd be in real trouble!

I would have guessed otherwise

they dont have miles over there. never happened.

Slick Johnson: Aggravated vehicle taking and damaging a Mercedes vehicle. Must be special circumstances for Mercedes where a Jaguar would have resulted in a lighter sentence.

Unless you pronounce it "Jag-you-are" which is 15 to life.

Some of the cream of Daily Mail posters in the comments

As a Yorkshire man I can picture this guy now -a drunken chav that thought it was a bit of a laugh. Hes got to be pitied because hes sub-human and if the government had organised a proper training and schooling by hard work or even conscription he might have gotten a vestige of intelligence in stead he like many in Britain today are "brain damaged". And before my post is "pulled" I worked with many truly mentally handicapped and never saw one as stupid as this one.

Solty Dog: Wow, the U.K. has a lot of effeminate looking cars. Even the Police cars are station wagons. What qualifies for a muscle car over there?

Some people don't need a penis extension.

Segways.

Strange...in the article it actually does say 30 days community service. See:

At Leeds Crown Court Judge Kerry Macgill jailed Oldroyd indefinitely to serve at least three-and-a-half years.

You're so insightful. Watching telly is so much better than reading.

Watching telly (UK)

Bit unreasonable to expect farkers to read articles or understand what the words might mean.

yes there was in more than one actually, used to play that game all the time

He also admitted driving without insurance, driving over the alcohol limit and failing to stop after an accident.


they don't carry insurance on city buses?
/how do u get insurance for steeling shiat?

Approves.

tapdancingchrist: Well there is the problem, he was driving on the wrong side of the road. Always so easy to spot the stupid criminals.

He was driving on both sides of the road (but not at the same time, DUH!)

If he did that shiat over in the States, how much time will he have gotten?

/I guess he couldn't afford to buy GTA.

Surely he thought he was okay to drive.

oh come on, who hasn't stolen a bus and gone on a drunken joyride?

Came here for the D-Fense reference. Leaving satisfied.

/he just wanted to get home for his little girl's birthday

I love the folks who can find some justification when some asshat pulls a stunt off like this. When my car (and 4 others) were broken into a few weeks ago the guy's excuse was he needed money. One of my coworkers thought the guy was justified because he was homeless. WTF.

That guy may be a dumbass but holy hell, what an awesome thing to do! My God, his family will talk about this for the next three generations.

I kept expecting the Predator drone to launch a missile and get rid of that moran...

There isn't really much market here for something that can only do straight lines.

Exodus2001: I raped and murdered a girl in 1990. I just wanted to get laid.

You only said rape once. Homo.

I knew what he would look like before I saw his photo - typical chavscum farking idiot.

there was also a bus in vigilante 8 (similar to twisted metal)

I blame obama

There's no 'royd like an Oldroyd!
/I can't believe I'm the first one to say it.

walnuts55: I blame obama

I though it was Gordon Brown myself.
