Watch: mayor crushes illegally parked car

‘It seems that a tank is the best solution.' This INFALLIBLE LOGIC comes from the brain of Lithuanian mayor, Arturas Zuokas.

He's at pains to stop luxury cars parking in cycle lanes of his municipality, Vilnius. To express his frustration, he ran over a scrap Mercedes W140 in a troop carrier.

The stunt was designed to demonstrate that, in Zuokas' words: "if you have a car and more money, [it] does not mean you can park it everywhere."

Presumably, It's perfectly legal to drive tanks in Lithuanian cycle lanes.
