Residents of Uliūnai village in Lithuania's Panevėžys district are living in fear due to a driver who terrorizes the community by speeding in a damaged BMW. Locals have taken to social media to share videos of the reckless driving, hoping to bring attention to the dangerous situation.
A child on a bicycle, an old man, a grandmother... a tragedy on the spot. Mantukas, don't speed, because you don't know what might jump out from behind a bush.
One video, shared in a local Facebook group, shows a battered third-series BMW speeding through the village streets. A caption accompanying the video directly addresses the driver, identified by locals as "Mantukas," warning him about the potential for a tragic accident involving children, the elderly, or cyclists. "Mantukas, don't speed, because you don't know what might jump out from behind a bush," the post reads.
Only a scumbag can drive at such a speed. Such people kill animals, damned scum.
Another resident shared a similar video, stating that this is not an isolated incident and that such dangerous joyrides occur weekly. Despite numerous threats to involve the police, the driver remains undeterred. Other concerned citizens urged for the video, which clearly shows the car's license plate, to be submitted to the e-police.
Who is this idiot? Is he the local Schumacher? Driving at such a speed through the village, does he have mashed potatoes in his head?
Commenters expressed outrage, with some suggesting physical intervention to stop the driver. "Only a scumbag can drive at such a speed. Such people kill animals, damned scum," one woman wrote. Others questioned the driver's sanity and suggested he was acting like a local "Schumacher." The sentiment among many was that the driver needed to be stopped, with some even advocating for him to be pulled from the car and "beaten well."
Pull him out of the car and beat him well.
