Extreme steps - need of the hour

Illegally parked vehicles on road is a norm in Bangalore. If you are a regular commuter, by now you would be so used to that you would have forgotten - oh these vehicles are illegally parked.

Illegally parked vehicles are a major cause of creating chaos and unnecessary jams on roads. In Bangalore, a two lane road becomes single with heavy traffic of trucks of flowing.
Illegally parked vehicles are a cause to make slower traffic move on right lanes. All the tractors, by default would be on right lane. Unless the vehicle is agile enough it would be on right lane.
 Illegally parked vehicles are cause making free flowing traffic impossible.Because you can't overtake. Have change lanes frequently.


Hats of  to "Mayor of Vilnius" who went to the extreme step to crush illegally parked Mercedes with a tank.


When citizen do not understand. Paying fine 100rs in Bangalore is so OK, like nothing. In Delhi, they atleast used to tow the vehicle, so the person will have some pain to go to police station and pay heavy penalty. There could be a scratch or two as well.

I seriously wish Bangalore traffic police (BTP) atleast starts to tow the vehicles or put wheel jammers, if not taking such extreme step.

To be honest I favor this Mayor of Vilnius, and hat's off to him for taking such bold step.

Follow traffic rules, be safe and let others be safe.

I don't think "crushing" is a solution. There might be some reason sometime. Very heavy fine would be my way say 1000-2000.
