This does unfortunately happen multiple times per day. Sometimes it’s smaller incidents where the tram driver can get out and collapse the car’s mirror. Other times the owner of the car comes out of a nearby house after the tram used its bell extensively (like today) and moves the car. And then there are times when police needs to get involved to tow the car which often takes upwards of 1 hour.
The truly infuriating part is that if the tram damages a poorly parked car, the transportation company will have to pay the damages. Poorly parked vehicles never get fined and the owners will only need to pay if the car ends up getting towed.
Why do we accept that drivers sabotage a city’s public transport infrastructure like this?
In the spirit of controversial opinions, wouldn’t those cars be the best targets for robbery?
You go in the night, break in, steal some shit, then in the morning the police come and move the car, theft is hard to solve as it is, the added confusion must be helpful for the robber.
Good idea. It should be legal to steal cars that are parked on the tracks.
The problem solves itself
not sure how it relates?
if park on the tram path you get your car hit by a tram and robbed?
more incentive not to park there.
Yes, that was my general idea, but also was an intrusive thought, there are better ways to discourage this behavior i think.
