The dangers of illegal parking in Russia!


Last night I posted a video clip of Russian soldiers using a cannon for avalanche control . . . with unfortunate results. Tonight, here's a rather original Russian method of 'towing' illegally parked cars.

    Cool...

    Maybe it's something else than wrong parking, the cars are the same tipe (Mazda's).

    Oops... I seen it later: both cars have no license plates. Maybe it's something else than parking.

    Some real (?) explanation here (mazda3forums.com):

    The cars have factory defects. In order to get the insurance money, they must be destroyed.

    Riddick - Thanks for that. Without knowing that, it hurt (as a Mazda owner) a little to watch that. This is not to say I don't admire the efficiency of it, though.
