    Call it in. All cities have a number you can call to report illegal parking. I had a guy park his stupid huge pickup truck and trailer in the alleyway by my house, blocked me into my own driveway. Totally illegal to park there.

    I called the parking violation report hotline I found online for my city. Within about 30 minutes a cop showed up, got out and looked at the truck, made a call on his radio, and 20 minutes later a tow truck got there and towed the whole thing away.

    Didn’t cost me a dime, and the loser who parked it there not only had an absolutely shit day when he found out his truck and trailer got towed, but also had to pay out the nose to get it back from the impound lot. Win win!

    I flip off every cybercuck I see. You can’t own one without supporting a fascist so everyone driving one is an asshole. I think you should be socially ostracized for owning one of these pieces of shit and I am doing my part.

    Why is there a parking payment kiosk next to the bus lane on a road with no street parking? Something isn’t adding up here.

      Found the location on street view. The bus lane is a weird partial bus lane that only exists on part of the block. Most of the lane is available for parking.

      The bus lane areas are painted red, and there is a sign at the start saying no parking/tow away zone. But they aren’t aligned properly. The red pavement starts about a car legnth before the no parking/tow away sign.

      In most traffic codes, signage takes precidence over painted markings on the street. So as far as I can tell, the truck in the picture is parked legally, despite being on red pavement.

      This is some particularly stupid street design, and this post is an incredibly manipulatively framed picture, with the sign just out of frame, but not an example of illegal street parking.

      It also spies on others as well, because the exterior cameras are also uploading to Tesla.

    No registration plate on the front? That’d be illegal where I’m from. You need to be able to identify the car from both sides, after all.

    But this Tesla is illegally parking and stealing money from a private equity firm since Chicago sold all their parking revenue…

    Well maybe it’s time that bus and tram get a cow plow at the front like trains had.

      I see this suggestion quite frequently and outside being a juvenile hot take, it is from a practical perspective, a terrible idea.

      Most obviously, colliding with other vehicles would make bus passengers experience far worse.

      There would be enourmous public backlash against the government regularly destroying private property like Mad Max.

      Busses aren’t designed to flip cars out of the way, and would suffer undue wear and tear, costing the city money.

      No space for a bike rack up front.

      Eventually a bus would flip a car out of the way onto the sidewalk, and it would roll over onto a pedestrian and kill them.

        Then maybe a ramp that flips cars to the middle of the road and the passengers get better seats or some kind of Convair system that drags cars into a shredder

    Where does it says it’s a bus lane? I only see “SNB”, which stands for “snob” - which makes it perfectly acceptable for a Cybertruck to park there.
