BYD Shark Owner Has Social Credit Rating Downgraded For Tailgating And Racially Abusing Fellow Motorists

In what's thought to be a world first, an angry young electrician from Betoota Heights has been notified by his new BYD Shark that his driving and language is unacceptable and until it improves, his "society credit score" prevents a number of features from being enjoyed.

Speaking exclusively to The Advocate today from outside his current place of work on Bunghole Circuit new build, Chris Davis said the vehicle explained to him that he needed to stop tailgating people a number of times before it stepped in to prevent it. Despite warnings, the 38-year-old told our reporter he continued anyway.

"The fucken things beeps at me, then sends a notification that the cunnavathing's disabled me Bluetooth, FM Radio and DAB+! Sayin' I'm riding up the arse of the fucken cunnupahead beep beep the cunn and then all of a sudden, it speaks to me in Chinese and takes control. Tells me that I can't tailgate no cunn no more and I can only listen to John Laws or sum cunn on AM radio," he said.

"That's not all, the cunn."

Davis went on to outline another incident where he grew impatient with a fellow motorist up head in a narrow street attempting to park in a spot that was obviously too small for the late model Kluger they were driving.

After quitting and continuing on down the road, Davis was able to pull up alongside the Kluger.

"All I fucken said was, 'Asian driver! I fucken knew it!' and then the car goes beep beep and lists a bunch of things and features I can't use until I start behaving like a mature citizen of the world or some cunn. I tried to pull into McDonald's for lunch and the fucken comptuer took over and put a message up on the dash that McDonald's is only for respectable young men, not worthless scoundrels like me. You know where the cunnathing took me? Red Rooster. It said I needed to be 180cm or more to go to McDonalds. I nearly put the cunt into a fucken power pole I was that angry. The fucken thing mocked me too, put up the number for LifeLine the fucken thing."

BYD Betoota has yet to reply to questions put to it by this masthead.

Until then, Davis says he will not alter or improve his behaviour.

More to come.
