Arturas Zuokas
Vilnius is the capitol city of Lithuania – a place where they feel very strongly about cars parked in specifically allocated bicycle lanes. In this clip, the city’s mayor, Arturas Zuokas, can be seen literally crushing an “illegally parked” luxurious blue Mercedes – with an armored vehicle!
The stunt was set up by frustrated members of the mayor’s office after they received hundreds of complaints, especially from cyclists, saying that parked cars have been blocking their bike lanes. I love how the mayor acts all nonchalant and cool whilst crushing all that glass and steel beneath him – only to get on a bicycle and cycle off into the distance afterwards.
I wonder if such a campaign could be organised locally with regards to douche bags who park their shiny cars in handicapped zones? Either Helen Zille or Patricia de Lille would look BOSS on the back of one of these tanks!
