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?
Yes but they simply don’t know how to park. My apartment used to oversee a parking lot and a relatively narrow two-way road with cars parked either side and I’ve seen everything 😂
Even professional drivers with trucks etc that you’d think would know the dimensions of their vehicle… It was so fun to watch them struggle when a car would come from the other direction and when there was heaps of space for both to pass, or watching them trying to maneuver into an amply spaced parking spot lol
I can tell you these people wouldn’t last a day in southern Europe or south east Asia where you need to be precise 😂😂
