So today I was out filming in the car (my friend was filming from the passenger seat..), went and got a tripod and everything!!
I decided I wanted to get some pictures in an underground car park (typical I know), I went to my local Tesco one. I drove in, in first gear and as I was underground you can tell I wanted to make some noise so a briefly accelerated to about 20 along a quiet straight towards the back of the car park, no one ahead, just parked cars.
I then heard a series of horns going off, I parked up and was setting up my tripod when a big merc comes diagonally up to me, against my driver door. He then asked me 'What the **** do you think you are doing?, coming through here so fast, what if there was a child in the road?' I replied, 'I was not going fast, the car is loud at any speed honestly.' Angry man:'You were flying past!'and went on a bit more at me, I then asked him to mind his own business and that it was only a bit of noise, he rambled on, I stared at him till he got bored and drove off..
I understood his concern about pedestrians, but obviously I would not have made a lot of noise if I had seen pedestrians. It was literally a tap of the throttle for about 2 seconds! I am an extremely careful driver, and very rarely speed, which is probably why it annoyed me quite a bit!
Wished my mate was still recording, just in case he tried anything!
This is the first time I have ever been confronted in such a way, Im not sure if it is because I am so young (19), would he have reacted the same if I was 30+? Who knows!
