Do you know the feeling when you know were you parked your car but you cannot find it there? I had the same feeling today evening when I got back from work. I calmed down and called 156 (911 in US :-) where they kindly told me that my car was not stolen but pulled away.
I took my brother-i-law as my help and some cash and we went to pick my car. Those guys showed me the police video which was taken before they pulled away my car. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The car was in the crossroad with little peace (aprox. 30cm before the end of the curve), but the reason why the pulled my car was that it was a road-block. The car on the other side standing on the clearway sign is just non-essential.
The road is both-way road where should be at least 6m of clear space according to the standards. The road itself has like 7m across with parking spaces on one side – these are reserved for 12 state police cars. So the road do not comply with the rule at all but nobody cares.
Finally I paid the pull away fees and the fine because I would not succeeded in the administrative adjudication and finally it would cost more and it would not be worth it to argue with the Police…
So what can I take from it for the next time? Better not to park at the street where I live.
