Title: New Radical Parking Control Measure
Post by: eye30 on August 05, 2011, 20:11:48

The mayor of Vilnius, Lithuania has made a video of him using an armoured personnel carrier to crush an illegally parked car in the city. Although a stunt, he says it shows his determination to deal with motorists who think they are above the law.

Betcha the insurance companies would be hastily changing their policies if this sort of thing started to happen....  :whistler:

Gee, I need a new car, think I''ll just park it illegally in the street.... :rofl:

That's a good powerful solution indeed.  :goodjob:
But crushing the illegally parked car is not illegal?
