Mayor harnesses extra firepower in war on badly parked horsepower

REVENGE is a dish best served cold and, if you can get your hands on one, in a tank.

In one of the more creative, and surely most satisfying PR stunts ever dreamed up by a politician, Arturas Zuokas, the mayor of Lithuanian capital Vilnius, decided to ease his frustration at motorists parking in bicycle lanes by driving an armoured personnel carrier over a Mercedes.

It’s not quite taking the law into his own hands but, judging by the YouTube clip of the stunt, it was clearly something Mr Zuokas derived great pleasure from.
