So not only did he not get towed, the fine was less. Only in Taiwan.
This is not a first. About a month ago there was a TV news coverage/report of an entire street blocked with luxury supercars including Lambos, Porsches, Ferraris etc. and many of them there were too. Apparently it seemed like a gangster had opened a new sort of shop or restaurant and all his friends turned up to offer well wishes. They simply stopped anywhere they pleased and completely filled a street, blocking all of the local residents from getting through. The police turned up in front of the cameras, and then later after the order was sent for trucks, a small fleet of them turned up. The expressions on the tow truck drivers faces was one of fear, as each of them passing realized that the cars belonged to people they had no intentions of arguing with, so just as soon as they slowed up to stop, they each pulled straight back off again. The police officer was trying to flag them down in despair, but the tow trucks just sped up and off. The reporter was left there then with a bit of an anti climax, and then instead of showing how foolish and pathetic these gangsters were as well as being the complete scum of the earth for stopping an entire community from traveling in and out, they turned their attention to the cars themselves. Then the gangsters started appearing, having noticed the attention their cars were getting. Dripping bing-lang and drool all over the road surface, they started bragging about their individual cars and how expensive they were, as well as being so sporty.
“Look!” one of the red stained mouth breathers exclaimed to the T.V. reporter. “My car is so light, you can push it with one hand!” as he persuaded the female reporter to try. So of course she did, and that was the end of the story of the selfish filth that was causing a huge road block and the beginning of the new story which was all about supercars. So she went on and on then introducing the cars and their owners and allowing them to grunt on about how fantastic and expensive their cars were.
The wife and I stared at the T.V. gob smacked at how the news had completely turned about face and was now highlighting how wonderful entrepreneurship is for these idiots that were probably celebrating having just successfully tromped out of a primeval sludge pool.
Here’s a tow truck from where I’m from, I’ve never seen one, they’re pretty rare, I don’t think my council had any, there’s probably no more than twenty in London. Anyway, here what they sort of look like, no problem with low clearance, there is also one featured in “Johnny English”
