The mayor of Vilnius, in Lithuania, has an aggressive way of cracking down on illegal parking… and has released a video demonstrating his non-nonsense approach. In the hilarious footage, which has swiftly gone viral, publicity hungry Arturas Zuokas finds a Mercedes illegally parked in a cycle lane. Rather than simply issuing a ticket, the smiling mayor runs it over with a soviet-era armoured personnel carrier. After completely crushing the flash motor, a delighted Zuokas then sweeps up the debris himself, before cycling away on a bike. He says in the video: "In the past few days, expensive cars have been illegally parked in almost this exact place – a Rolls-Royce and a Ferrari. "What should the city do about drivers who think that they are above the law? It seems that a tank is the best solution."
