- The Streetcar hangs over the Cement Roadbed a bit more, so, a white line is painted so you know your in the clear.......some just have a disregard for it.
From South Waterfront District, Portland, Oregon.
I though he was gonna ram in full speed by going reverse and coming back.
van owner deserved that
If only...
I wish he would have
me too
Me too!
When a one minute video has it's own OST album.
I read it first, so i though you was joking, but holy shit
😂😂 this is a Priceless comment
its
Doug Demuro OST
🤣
Streetcare driver on the intercom: "Hold on everybody, prepare for ramming speed!"
My thought exactly 😂😂😂😂
True! If the Wave Motion Gun isn’t ready then ramming speed is often the best option.
Passengers: Fuck Yeah!!!! WHOOOOOOH!😁*
Ludicrous speed !!
There were two things I wanted to see in this clip, and didnt:
1) The tram reversing to gain speed and blast past the car, writing it off
2) 'Karen' returning to the scene of its crime
Shearing the side of a car would not be a reasonable response to being a few inches into the street car's path of travel.
Everyone makes mistakes when parking. From this angle, this one didn't look especially egregious. One wouldn't be a Karen for being pissed off if the streetcar ruined their car like that.
@@devilpistons1269 I suspect the body work would be cheaper than that tow and ticket
@@alakani maybe tho idk
but it would make you more pissed to see your car messed up like that
'its'😂
I thought when the driver was backing up, that he was doing so in order to gain speed and knock that ugly piece of crap out of the way like a boss.
yeah I thought I was watching Bus 62's driver got new job.
Like in inception
hotgirlsarehot took my like back so it can remain at 666 😘😘
That's what I was hoping for, too...
Americans...
I am very disappointed, I thought they were backing up to increase speed to ram it lol.
+New Orleans Dashcam Thats what I was hoping for too.
+New Orleans Dashcam They did tease us with that little caption. I also thought it was building up to ramming speed.
+New Orleans Dashcam Agree, such a half hearted attempt :)!
+New Orleans Dashcam It would remind me of that lunatic bus driver who pushed a Porsche out of the way causing damage to a bus shelter, light pole and a VW Passat. If that driver had done a thing like that here in the USA he/she would be fired. Not only would that driver be fired but face a points hearing, a civil and crimimal lawsuit but also be ordered to get a mental evaluation. It would be interesting to see if they would revoke their class A and suspend their class C. That sort of stuff would hinge heavily on their driving history of course.
John Doe He may have been a lunatic, but tell me it was not a little funny to watch that woman watching her Porsche plower by a bus.
I like the effort that they made to make sure they couldn't make it before the van was towed; very sophisticated (enviable) duty to public interaction.
I remember one day when I was like 16 years old or so, I was waiting for a tram near a metro station in the morning along with lots of other people. And then the tram came and stuck like 10 meters before the stop because some assholes never cared to check if there was enough space between their rear bumper and the tram track. And after like a couple of minutes some patrolling cops stopped nearby to take a look and they probably didn't want to bother with the towing service and stuff, so they just gathered some guys and pushed the damn ride closer to the curb to make way for the tram. Me and some more guys just pushed the other car and the way was clear.
Welcome to Russia, where people deal with problems with their own hands.
That's perfectly fine of course to move it if possible but the problem I see with that is the driver who parked incorrectly learned nothing. In his eyes he parked properly and didn't inconvenience anyone which is clearly not the case. Had he been towed and inconvenienced in turn there is a possibility that he might stop being a d-bag in the future.
@@Rocky-iy8ct not worth it, morning rush hour and there are lots of people waiting for trams, the tower would have taken hours to get to the center of the city
@@Rocky-iy8ct Russian drivers don’t learn, they just blame the enforcers.
Yeah, just like when they used their hands putting Novichok toxin on somebody’s underwear. Welcome to Russia, now your nuts are fried!
Wtf is a tram
This happens a lot in the city. Drivers park in loading zones, bus stops, and generally just anywhere they aren't supposed to park. The least they have waiting for them is a citation. The worst is their vehicle gets impounded.
When you build your city for cars only this is what will happen
Need at least high fine. it’ll encourage more to do it because might only get citation.
@@Mad_Catter_ blame the poor, or people in apartments, they gotta get taxes from somewhere and most property taxes go by lot size; outskirts of allentown PA people pay $3,000 school taxes or normal size house and yard on top of city, state, municipal taxes, and out around where the expensive houses are that take up 1/3 of the block it's like $12,000 school tax, and the city/state/county taxes are another $2-3,000. Apartments don't pay any because they dont own the land. I was realtor
(terrible job) and I could pull up tax info and I was nosey.
@@ricoganteng6409 that doesn't make any sense... if a city was build for cars only, then cars should have no problem parking. I think the real issue is that the city was not made for cars, thus the streets have too little room for parking near businesses.
@@ricoganteng6409 I`m begining to thing those ballless bitching pseudo-eco politicans don`t even know what public transport is since they were traveling by their "eco" jets all life.
The moment they started forcing EV that is worse in every aspect and isn`t eco either instead of going for more public transport should open eyes for most of those ecofreaks.
And I thought the streetcar was backing up to take another run at it,...dang nammit!
Given how ridiculous towing fees are, the car owner might have preferred that.
I was hoping the same thing John, but think about the damage on the streetcar they would have to repair, and how expensive *that* would be!
Taggerung well, the car owner is not paying for that so why should he care?
thats what i also thought
I was expecting that too.
Van owner probably colored outside the lines as a kid and wasn't reprimanded.
@Muckin 4on your level of stupidity is outside the line
@@mdeck87 It’s a joke you dumbass
I've seen a video of a train taking the side off somebody''s. car that was parked too close to the tracks.
@@johnbockelie3899 Now that's one either very brave, or very mad driver to park near train tracks. With a train you don't even need a law. You don't even need common sense. Just simple fear of danger is enough to make you park meters away from the tracks.
Nothing good ever came from sloppy coloring habits.
I remember watching this video while still in university... wow time flies.
Also, the side mirrors should be inside the line as well or else they'll be lopped off when the tram passes through.
One moron inconveniencing 50-100 people does not need a RVM anyway. If they want one, they can always buy another from the repair shop.
In our city, bus inspectors were given parking warden warrants and issued with ticket books. Imagine the surprise of a motorist parked on a bus stop when the driver (an inspector doing relief driving) hopped off the bus and wrote him a ticket.
An inspector cannot step off the bus while acting as a relief driver.
@@erkinalp Ummm.
At the bus stop?
They aren't trapped in the bus, they can indeed leave the vehicle at a stop
@@zugverruckter5721 They are indeed not trapped, but urban bus drivers are generally not allowed to leave the bus while there are passengers inside.
@@erkinalp That makes perfect sense, because the rules for bus drivers are all exactly the same all over the world. /s
@@erkinalp They can in that city. They do if needed to help disabled people, put trolley poles back onto wires (when there were trolley buses), etc.
Shame you didn't get video of the driver coming out to his missing car.
AirVengeance318 Pretty sure they just relocated it. It wasn't anything Illegal happening so they probably moved it to a more convenient spot. They wouldn't be allowed to tow and keep
Shoulda put it back just even more ridiculous...backwards or something!
yes put it back into the spot but like on its roof or something...
Blocking the path of public transit IS illegal. And they have every rights to tow the vehicle.
The Mouse In Your Room < no, this vehicle was parked illegally and therefore will be conveniently relocated to the city's designated impound lot.
Moral of the clip: if you want your movie to be watched, keep it short.
And I still clicked past all the black screens describing the story anyway 😂
Yip 100% 👍👍👍👍
Ahh yes, the good old nostalgic days of 2009
I wish I could go back ;-;
That was very nice of them to carefully attempt passing before calling the tow truck company.
They potentially did it after calling the tow truck to see if can cut the waiting time for passengers. They can't just let it stay there to slow down the coming streetcars after all.
I was hoping it was going to back up, speed up and smash the whole side of that van up!
:(
nguyen danny
If this is a common occurrence then they should be building the street cars with reenforced steel ramming plates with spikes!!!11
Yeah, no, I came to the same conclusion, but we can always dream...
+MirceaKitsune No one else got towed, just the dumb one.
Ryan Yuschock
SMAAASSSH!!!
HAHAHA
😂😂😂😂
Ryan Yuschock Well, if that happened, then the street car would be damaged, and the boss would want to know what happened to the street car. Bosses don’t like it, when “their” equipment gets torn up.
Ryan Yuschock it would costs more to fix the streetcar, that kind of vans u can get them for $1500-2500, the owner probably won’t even care, assuming he has insurance he won’t lose anything
Ironic that this popped up in my TH-cam recommendations today, more than 11 years after the video was posted.
I had an argument in the center of the city yesterday while my girlfriend and I were having a coffee. A man who parked his car so far away from the pavement (sidewalk) that when his wife got out of the passenger side, I commented to my girlfriend that the poor woman would need a taxi to deliver her to the kerb. The wife giggled about it (apparently her hearing was pretty good, but I was not exactly talking sotto voce), but when she told her hubby about is as they were walking off he got very huffy and came back demanding to know what my problem was (she seemed like a lovely lady, although maybe stirring the pot a bit to provoke a reaction from him, although she did seem quite embarrassed by the reaction). When I stood up and he realised he was talking to someone who was a head taller than him, significantly wider across the shoulders although only about half his size at the waist, and pointed out the tram that was at this point about 30 meters from his car, and slowing down because he had parked so far away from the kerb that he was blocking it, he got a bit sheepish and reparked properly, with not a tow or parking ticket in sight.
Plot twist: the person filming was the owner but was too ashamed to admit it and go move the car
Or maybe he deliberately parked there so he could make a video that got a lot of views and a share of all the ad revenue??
@@MK-fc2hn pretty sure paying for the tow and likely ticket would eat into that “ad revenue”
Love this, people able to do something about the people who couldn't care less. I love it when they get served. Had a woman at work who after repeatedly telling her her parking was bad I used to strategically park so she would have to labor to get out. She also drove into a ditch damaging her front fender. People need to stop the attitude of 'the world serves me' carry on and see where it leads.
Are you still that petty??
@@MK-fc2hn found the bad driver
@@josephhacker6508 Quite the opposite.. I believe in being a considerate driver. But I also don't go around policing the "inconsiderateness of others", and assuming that people are selfish and deliberate when they park stupidly.
Some people are far too eager to "teach someone a lesson", and then broadcast their actions with others on how they corrected the bad behavior.. they seem to take glee in it, and I find these righteous people to be just as annoying as the bad drivers.
@@MK-fc2hn If someone repeatedly demonstrates themselves to be a bad driver then they don't belong in the road and a lack of improvement suggests that they have no intention of improving until they hurt themselves or someone else. The roads are full of people who shouldn't be allowed to drive. I'm not inclined to give someone the benefit of the doubt when they keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
@@MK-fc2hn Read the comment, no assumptions were made. This woman was a coworker and consistently did this. So no, this isn't a case of seeing some stranger's car parked wrong in a public parking lot where you don't know if maybe that person was forced to park like that because there was a car in the next space that was over the line that has since left or anything like that...
if you cant fit your vehicle within the white lines you should either
a) find a better parking space
b) not be driving
+Steven D. Maye c) get a new car. Instead of that ugly monster.
Steven Daniel Maye I like how everyone in this comments section fancies themselves a perfect driver who never makes a mistake.
We're not perfect drivers here, but a parking adjustment can be corrected in a few seconds. Thus the driver of that van is a fucking tool and deserves to have his vehicle towed.
The driver is guilty, but what did city do to widen the parking space?. Nothing, can they do it? Easily. City is guilty here as well.
Or you can follow the rules like everyone else who parked on that side of the street. Stop whining that someone is special and the system needs to change because someone can't take responsibility for their own actions. The parking spaces are just fine, its the driving that needs to be fixed.
The editing on this video is very well done. Love it.
This video is so funny. The video itself with the music and editing. It's a gem
Was anyone else waiting for the street car to plow the van out of the way? I mean, its a train, after all...
I guess you're easily triggered over trains? Do you identify as a train or something? If it rides on rails, its considered a train. And besides, I just wanted to see the [whatever your sensitive ass wants to call it] hit the minivan. So calm it down there, killer.
Thee Tool Guy HAHAHAHAHAHA. All because I didn't use the proper term for a train? Your'e gonna have a hard time getting through life is this kind of stuff sets you off, bud.
Thee Tool Guy you are a new level of stupid. but glad I'm able to waste your time so easy, just by calling this thing a train XD you made yourself the dumbass here
Thee Tool Guy how old are you anyways, kiddo? You're way too sensitive to be anything close to an adult... At least I hope.
Thee Tool Guy you didn't answer my question, little boy.
Sure it was bad parking, but i.m.o. also bad street design. You will have loads of people not being able to park and the trams will be stuck everytime. Not very efficient.
Look at all the other cars, they all parked well within the box. Whomever parked the van chose not to do it properly.
LiouTao Did you even read my comment? I said it was bad parking didn't I? The reason it's bad street design is because you need to calculate bad parking into the design on the tracks. Because now everytime someone parks like this, the tram can't go anywhere till it get's towed causing delay's.
Your car should be no farther than 1 foot from the curb. The fact that the van was parked over the line means that the van is over a foot from the curb. Parking a foot from the curb is bad parking. Parking further than a foot is just blatant double parking and deserves to get towed.
LiouTao Don't you get my point or are you just not reading anything i'm saying? Not gonna argue with someone who doesn't even understand my point.
I did get your point, and I don't think it applies. I even explained why. In Maryland, you have to park within a foot from the curb to pass the driver's test. You have to really suck if you can't park within a foot from the curb. Or, the driver probably doesn't even care. That parking spot is almost as wide as the street itself, there should be no reason why the car isn't within the lines.
Wonderful video with nice collection of music
I love the jazzy music! It's perfect.
This happened when I was on my way to work years ago. The team driver said he couldn't do anything before his boss arrived and called a towing truck.
One passenger asked if we couldn't just, you know, move the car ourselves. I'm not I'm liberty to ask you that said the driver.
"Alright lads! The passenger said and we all got out and fucking lifted the car a meter our so to the side.
Huge grins on everyone's face the rest of the way. I really wonder what the people that got on next thought had happened.
I've seen videos of that. People power gets 'er done!
A streetcar named desire.
or a streetcar named Marge. One of the best Simpsons episodes there is
Shaun Dobbie THAT was my thought RE ramming the vehicle
Streetcar named empty more like it.
Shaun Dobbie yea a desire to care to not hit the car, but to call a tow truck cause of the person parking the car Stupidly.
I thought the same
That's a "I wana speak to the manager" mom car
Now it's a "Pay us $600 or we'll sell it for scrap" towing company's car.
Karen?
Honestly I feel kinda bad because its a family van and not a luxury car, the owner probably can't afford to pay that towing bill.
It's a Renault Karène.
I love it. Good for Street car line. People were on the streetcar may have jobs and. / or appointments , were orobebly late. Glad this was dine.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I like the music at the end.😂 The streetcar going on its merry way.
My question is...why the hell are their parking spaces NEXT TO TROLLY TRACKS??? What next? Mobile home parking next to railroad tracks?
JamesSCassidy dont give people ideas :)
+JamesSCassidy because it fit ... if you're able to drive
+alphons bretagne So long as you don't driver any truck larger than a half ton (some half tons wouldn't fit) or an older car like an oldsmobile.
SliC3oFicE
But that car isn't that large ... and if you're driving a larger car just look for another parking lot. Thats no reason to block others, right ?
+alphons bretagne There's no reason, but should understand that there is so many drivers, that there is always a driver who is going to do that, for whatever reason. It is simply a silly design.
Wow, that's a great camera quality for 2009
tHE MUSIC MADE ME HAPPY AT THE END. tHANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
0:10 RAMMING SPEED!
The older generation in Pittsburgh always talks about how when our city had trolley's. They say that if you parked like that the trolley would just smash whatever was in the way, of course back then the trolleys were made of solid steel. That van would have been toast.
Great resolution for 2009. I never really saw anyone using 720p until 2012!
In Belgium you would have to pay a parking fine (damn), the tow fee (a lot more!), AND the cost of the streetcar's delay (even a LOT more than the tow fee!)
This is why the people of Ottawa emplored our city to build our light rail underground. The bus systems kept on being disrupted by bad parkers and delivery vehicles.
canucktunes LA has underground light rails and a regular metro. Seattle does too, Works well.
Ive heard- that the area under sparks is not well made. I moved from ottawa just before they finally got working on this, but heard a rumor i guess, which supposedly came from contractors observing coners cut and various corruption. Idk personally, if id pass that area underground.
They should have just scrapped all the bus lines downtown.. the truckers need all of that usable space for protesting!
Especially with that more 'on in power.
This goes on in my city too. Selfish/stupid drivers blocking the tram system with their parking. Not only does it block the trams, but it blocks all the cars behind the trams that can't overtake because of oncoming traffic. Causes lots of delays to innocent parties wanting to get from A to B. It should be pointed out, these passengers on the tram cannot get off because of health and safety reasons, so they're held up by 'one driver' thinking that their prioties are more important than several other people. Should be heavily fined, and criminally prosecuted for causing wilfull obstruction, maybe sit their test again in order to get their license back..
TrigJosh I agree! Anyone who blocks public transportation should be HEAVILY fined for all of the inconvenience that they personally caused.
TrigJosh Just shoot the dumb cunts.. Problem solved 😈😈😈😈
In San Francisco, it will cost $500 to $800 to pay off the penalties and fees.
To be fair it's seem to be bad design for the tramway line. In most of western Europe, they have theyr special lane where no car can go except if it's a intersection.
Eliminate the parking spaces and add perpendicular or 45-degree angle parking spaces on the cross street to make up the difference. Problem solved.
Gotta love a city that prioritises public transport over cars 😊
Lol love the jazz 🎶 playing as they take the minivan lol
Cheers to Portland OR -- that's a nice-looking streetcar.
"or" what?
dontbothermewithchannels Only Portland understands the choices Portland faces!

***** Thank you, I see now that Inekon has sold well to Portland for many years. www.inekon.cz/en/press-center/news-list/more-inekon-trams-for-portland-usa.html
I remember once I heard that a car in Melbourne was parked ON the Tram Line, and when the next tram came through, it cleaned up the car and the tram driver got away cleanly with it.
bendybus our teams are beasts if you block the way we will drive into you
I had relatives living in Melbourne for a while. My uncle personally witnessed a tram basically shoulder-check a car out of the way. Car driver was obviously not a Melbournian and didn't follow the "left lane to turn right across the tram tracks" rule. Tram driver gave the usual warning bell, and again, and then at slow speed, just kept going.
I like it when I hear the "JOHN tv" attack music. That's when something exciting's gonna happen!
My city Adelaide, Australia used Portland as an example of how street cars are good for the city. We now have continual traffic jams, fire services can't access some areas any more as we have raised platforms so that wheel chair users can roll straight onboard, we have lost the ability to turn off the roads crossing over a tram line, so people just drive straight through, businesses are shutting down. It's a complete f--- up. Trams (street cars) have put my city back 60 years or more. We had trams in the early 1900's and they were pulled up in the 1960's due to the congestion and accidents they caused.
DAMN!!! I thought he was backing up to gun it😂
What city is that?....very nice street cars.
Portland, OR
very empty streetcar
Brad C I'm sure there were originally passengers. But rather than wait on the train for a tow truck to come and tow the car, they probably left and walked.
that my friend looks like Portland Oregon.. i live here
Yes, it's Portland, I can tell by the towing company. They're right by my house :)
This is every song that ever played on the Weather Channel
Forget that! “ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!!”
They need to add car scrapers to the sides of those streetcars. Spring loaded rakes that line up with the inside of the white line. Park like an ass, lose some paint.
+Fracture LOL. That'd be hilarious! But seriously though, what about side mirrors?
And also what if your car just doesn't paint
Fracture yes!
I was hoping the camera man would have just left the camera in the window to catch the reaction of the car owner.
,,, would be like: jump, jump, scream, yell, sware, jump, sware, sware, jump, jump, sream.... etc. :-p
13 years and it's still satisfies ... Ahhhh!
Love the editing job and choice of music, well done!
Portland here, I love this video! I ride our streetcars and trains often. Your music and editing are wonderful 🌹
To bad they missed the reaction of the driver who go towed.
As an owner of the model that followed that style Voyager/Caravan, I would not be surprised if we find out the left front wheel was touching the kerb. They're pretty wide, and plenty of parking spots are marked narrower then they should be. Getting from the drivers seat to the side doors through between the front seats becomes second nature in some parking lots, because the side doors slide open in places where there's not enough room to open the front doors normally.
As usual, the algorithm brings us back together.
who the fuck would put a parkingspace there wtf ?
+anns666 Who wouldn't park IN a parking space? Paint on the ground for a reason.
Someone trying to save a few pennies while inconveniencing tons of others.
You put literally every existing mainstream soundtrack on this video
I love that they verified squeezing by the car wasn't possible before calling a tow.
Sometimes people just need to learn the hard way!
Karen: my cars been stolen i need to speak to the head of police now!!
Love to know what the final fines and fees were!
Yesterday i got speeding ticket but now i dont feel so bad anymore. Thank you
"Short an sweet" love it!
Set throttle to ramming speed.
City planner could have come up with a better design. People may not have realized how much it mattered that they strictly stay inside the white line. You know, we often park in stalls and sometimes go over the line and think, "Eh, it's just a inch, the person who parks next to me will still have space." In this case, there is no space beyond the line. I'm not saying the driver couldn't have done a better job, but the design could be better to avoid this type of thing altogether.
If you check the other cars parked along the way, there is plenty of space to park the car correctly. The driver just didn't gave nothing about it all and parked as he wished. And hopefully learned that is a no-go.
MrAnsagon Keep in mind, that van is a good bit wider than the other vehicles. It doesn't have as much extra space there.
Yep, you are correct. The driver had to check surroundings anyway, I think he knows he have a larger car and maybe he had overlook the space between car and rails. The good thing is, the service driver tried to be nice and checked if the bus can deal with it without have to call any assistance. Bad luck.
It's not that much wider, and there appeared to be room to the left of the van. To all appearances, he could have parked inside the line. But let's just say that he couldn't have. In that case, he should *NOT* have parked there. The tram has the right-of-way at all times so long as it is on the rails because it *is* on rails. It is limited in where it can go. So the tram employee was being very courteous, making an effort to avoid having the vehicle towed *which he didn't have to do*.
The owner should not only be liable for the towing charges, but the tram company should be entitled to claim their losses and every single passenger in the tram, too.
thanks to all the wonderful transplants that made this possible..
I love European trams. They're so beautiful.
It's bad street design really. If it's that close something is wrong with the lines
Yup because it would be cost effective to change a whole city's layout. Damn 100 dodo birds liked your dumbass comment hahahaha.
If that happens often, that's definitely a bad design. Block the parking space won't be to costly considering the cost of delay on the Street car.
Kyle Ho you can't create space where there is none, follow the lines or pay the fines. Egits.
Andrew Gabriel I meant remove the parking spaces (only like 4) to avoid bad drivers. Btw, the fines won't cover anywhere near the lost of delaying Street car.
Sambo Hambo They have never worked in a city. They wouldn't understand multiple forms of transportation running through one destination. They're internet dad's with no comprehension of the subject.
should have filmed the driver reaction when they returned
They should have! I bet the driver's look would have been *precious*!
Fantastic accompanying music :-)
This is satisfying to watch.
Waiting for bernice to come

Amazing quality from a video uploaded 10 years ago
I just noticed that too!
A Time traveler with a gopro
Holy shit this video has transported me to 2010 iMovie and GarageBand editing
The soundtrack is awesome
Wow how much wasted time that the passengers had to wait for the Grand Caravan to be removed
Can't pay the fine? Don't park on the line.
Can't be an inch over the line? Stupid fucking design.
Yeah it's absolutely idiotic.
Incapable of parking your ugly MPV?
The tow lot is where your car is gonna be.
also, just don't park on/over the line.
@Channel LuckySpock - Left 4 Dead 2 Hey bud, the rest of us can spell and punctuate sentences properly. Don't get cocky.
Where I live if you are towed away the release fee is about $469 if collected within 48 hours, increasing at $19.46 per day after that.
Zaaamn, that's a nice Mitsu Diamant over there!
later...
"Dude"- dude where's my car?
" 2nd dude"- where's your car, dude ?
I am a city planner. Am I the only one that thinks that the designer / city planner, who made it possible that the Tram and the parking space are so close to each other, is an idiot. You always have to design knowing thar the perfect world doesn't exist. Don't blame the driver of the car, blame de designer of this area.
It doesn't take a perfect world for someone to fix their park job 🤷♀️
He should have realized where he was parking but I agree that this design is all kinds of wrong anyways because theres barely room to park as it is.
actionmedia4all
😂😂😂
White line doesn’t mean a thing huh?
Must be a minivan owner
actionmedia4all there is a white line there for a reason. You don’t fit inside the line, don’t park there.
Do they leave a note or something when they tow your car?
such a good quality for a video made 14 years ago
Antomio garza is proud of the soundtrack
Do they charge the van's owner for the delay on the streetcar service ?
Here if there's an accident on a train crossing due to car drivers negligence not only they have to pay for the damage to the train, they also face a fine for delaying the service..
The car is towed. Pretty sure the driver would have to pay something to get his car back.
If that happened in San Francisco, the owner of the towed car will have to pay $500 to $800 to get his car back.
Why is this commended only now in 2018. And why is the video quality so good
Lesson; THE LAWS OF THE LAND, are meant to be OBEYED!! 😱😱😱
I blame the city engineer for having such such small margin.
Why? He clearly parked poorly and didn't bother to inspect his parking job.
Maybe you're just defending them 'cause you don't park very well yourself.
Virgo Heart lol. Yes its poor parking job. However the car is only slightly over the line & the street car can't get by. To me that is poor planning by the city for having such a small margin. You can't even open the car door without being over the tracks.
All i am saying is the city should of planned better and taken the curb in other foot or two.
Yet everyone else parked in that area managed to park within the lines!! Screw that idiot!!
Indeed. There is so much space in the us, why would you use such small margins. Hell, I live in the (very small) Netherlands and we don't have this problem, while also having bike lanes.
@@markw3598 "Oh the others did it right so its not a problem at all." Except it is a problem, whenever someone comes along and parks like an idiot there the tram gets delayed for however long it takes for a tow truck to come. Meaning tons of people will be late to work just because of one idiot that can't park. Thats bad street design to me.
"RAMMING SPEED !!"
Reminds me of the NJ Transit Light Rail.
This is why a bus makes a million times more sense than a street car.
What happens when a badly designed streetcar line, someone driving while Oregonian and an overly-polite streetcar operator meet?
not sure how it's a bad design because some idiot can park poorly
They could have put the tracks in the center lane instead of the left lane, and just have it change to the curb lane at platforms.

You will se that it has to run there because it would hit oncomming traffic going over the dottet line.
Mats Norway: No. No it wouldn't. It's running on a one-way street in the US, so white lines separate lanes going the same direction, not opposite. Safe to say I'm very familiar with the street given I used to live on it.
Oh.
Can you just pick one song and keep it
can we stop telling what someone made 9 YEARS ago is not very good? Look at some other TH-cam videos 2009, very few are where near as well edited as this
Can we stop telling what someone said 8 months ago about a video made 9 YEARS ago is not very good?
POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO POTATO dubstep is great if it’s good dubstep... but it’s not good for a towing video, it’s really weird
Can you click off of the video and maybe, I don’t know, don’t tell people how to edit their own content?
That’s not a song it’s a crap sound
Long ago there was a pickup truck parked right in the middle of the tracks. Street car shows up, dings the bell, then goes to the big horn. 2 minutes later truck driver leaves the doughnut shop, gets in the truck slowly as though nothing's wrong... Street car ding's the bell AND THE GUY MOTIONS TO THE STREET CAR TO GO AROUND!! Then the street car blew the big horn again long and he finally figured it out. 25 years ago but...😂 Some just don't bother to understand anything about street cars.
What did the tow truck do with the car (minivan) after he moved it out of the way? Park it in another spot?
