" ... why can't people just open their doors without banging away?", 'wkel24' asks.
I have an idea that the lack of respect of which 'Peter86' speaks may be due to people leasing their cars and not actually 'owning' them. I had a similar experience in 1978 two weeks after buying my first and only new car. That Mini 1000 cost me £2200 and I saved for years to buy the car. To say that I was annoyed was putting it mildly.
It seems to me that paying a few hundred pounds a month for the privilege of owning a car today does not engender respect for others. I have also noticed that those of us who do run older cars, often considered 'bangers' by such people, tend to exhibit much more respect for other's vehicles, be they old or new.
Regards, John.
