Uh, pretty much what it sounds like. Apologies if this has already been posted.
The mayor of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius has taken his frustration over motorists parking in bicycle lanes into his own hands – by driving an armoured personnel carrier over a Mercedes.
Residents are reportedly tired of luxury car owners parking with impunity and have requested the local council do something about it.
In a publicity stunt to reassure the public that the city authorities is addressing the issue, Arturas Zuokas jumped in an army troop carrier and drove over an old Mercedes-Benz S-Class that had been parked in a bicycle lane.
“I wanted to send a message” Mr Zuokas told the media. “I want to point out that if you have a car and more money it doesn’t mean that you can park it everywhere. Recently there’s been an increase in this type of parking violations, and it shows a lack of respect for others”.
