Testing the car, innit? Would have had to close the bonnet, then later open the bonnet again. Simple German inspired time efficiency savings

I don't see the problem here. Can someone explain?

Close your bonnet

best part is... once it was started, unless the alternator was goosed, the engine would have been able to run without the booster

with the booster attached and car being driven, the alt would have bene charging the battery AND the booster, making the whole process less effective

He was also lucky that the bonnet didn't bend backwards from the wind force...

Looks like he's going very slow tbh. The whole story and lynch mob stuff is a bit daily mail if you ask me. Sure it's silly and irresponsible, but you can still see where you are going well enough with the bonnet up which is more than can be said for the countless people driving in the winter with fogged up and icy windows. Should they all go to prison too?

Prison is a bit harsh, but certainly points and a fine would not be unreasonable.
