A Würzburg Twitter user expressed his displeasure with a brazen SUV who parked incorrectly, including a photo as evidence.
He promptly gets an answer from the police.
Unfortunately, illegal parkers are a common annoyance in most cities.
In Würzburg, however, a Twitter user is doubly annoyed by one of these ruthless vehicle drivers.
Context: In the middle of downtown Würzburg, a driver parked his vehicle in a parking and charging area specifically for e-cars.
This blocks one of the already rare charging points for fully electric vehicles.
Even if the car is a hybrid, he did not use the charging option, as can be seen in the picture.
In addition, the complainant got angry about the type of car – a fat Range Rover SUV – in downtown Würzburg.

Illegal parkers in Würzburg "ruthless and everywhere" - commentator jumps in complainant
“And who do you tell in Würzburg if a cart like this blocks the loading area for well over half an hour?” he asks angrily in his tweet and at the same time links to the Lower Franconia police.
A day later, she reacted quite diplomatically: "In such cases, you can contact the local police station at any time." Another user seconded the creator of the post.
In his opinion, there is no control pressure for illegal parking in the city on the Main.
"Parking is ruthless and everywhere - on sidewalks outside the markings and in loading areas." Increased controls would therefore "certainly not hurt".
The fact that illegal parking is not a trivial offense can be seen from the penalties for the administrative offence.
Meanwhile, the illegal parker is also defended somewhat.
“Würzburg is by far the worst city for drivers.
I avoid the city center whenever possible,” explains another commentator.
Photographing illegal parkers has been legally controversial for a long time.
However, the administrative court in Ansbach recently ruled on this.
