Spider attack

The blue spider truck in action, picking up irresponsible driver's car who thought parking on a sidewalk was a good idea:







Once the car is picked up, it's taken to a large parking lot. For every day your car is there, your fine goes up (starting at around 200EUR or $250) and you cannot pick up the car without paying... quite efficient way of dealing with (and teaching) people who think they're somehow entitled to park wherever they please.

Can't get me here!

Zagreb has quite large and very active service of so-called "Spider" trucks which are used to impound cars parked wherever the parking isn't clearly marked and of course, give their owners a hefty fine. They're the joy of everyone whose passageway was blocked by a car, or are annoyed by slow/blocked traffic, and the terror for those who think they're above the law.

However, something tells me this Mini is safe from Spiders :):



It's parked above the entrance of one of the Jarun's night clubs, closed for the season.
