Car owners in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, may be choosing parking spaces a little more carefully after the city's mayor, Arturas Zuokas, drove an armored personnel carrier over -- and destroyed -- a Mercedes which was parked in bicycle lanes to serve as a warning to anyone who thinks about parking illegally, the Guardian reported.

In a video released by the city government, Zuokas is seen beaming triumphantly as he rides over the car.

"In the past few days, expensive cars have been illegally parked in almost this exact place -- a Rolls Royce and a Ferrari," says the mayor's narration to the video. "What should the city do about drivers who think that they are above the law? It seems that a tank is the best solution." (点击《卫报》查看原文)

市长开坦克碾乱停豪车

       立陶宛首都维尔纽斯的车主们未来在停车的时候肯定会更加小心。

       据英国《卫报》报道,该市的市长奥吐拉斯·佐卡斯为了警告那些试图违法停车的人,驾驶一辆装甲车直接从一辆停在自行车道的奔驰车上碾了过去,顿时就把奔驰车给压碎了。

       在当地政府发布的一段录像里,佐卡斯市长冷酷地碾过奔驰车,脸上还带着胜利的微笑。

       市长在录像中说:“过去,豪车车主经常违法把车停在这里,我看到过一辆劳斯莱斯和一辆法拉利。我们应该如何对待这些自认为凌驾于法律之上的车主呢?坦克似乎是最好的办法。”
