Jilted man drove pick-up over love rival's car

A jilted man in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory mounted his love rival’s vehicle with a 4WD pick-up truck in a possible attempt to cure his injured pride.



The man posted the photo of himself standing on the tray of his Toyota Land Cruiser, which was parked on the bonnet and windscreen of a sedan, on the NT Performance Cars, Parts and Services Facebook page. The dispute seems to relate to a love triangle between the four-wheel drive owner, the sedan owner and a woman.



Friends and associates of the man posted comments on the forum urging him to calm down and consider his actions, with many others expressing delight and encouragement. The man, 29, who police say is on his L-plates, later posted another update and a photo after NT Police tracked him down, saying: “F*ck it’s noisy in these paddy wagons.”



NT Police have charged the man with criminal damage, driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle, driving without L-plates and driving without a fully licensed passenger in the passenger seat. He will appear in court on July 8.

What does "on his L-plates mean?"

It means he's a learner driver, Barbwire.
