Illegally parked car towed away
One woman was not prepared to have it yesterday February 6, 2014, when she turned up to her motor car and found that she was blocked in the parking lot at Craft Alive. Vendors at the Craft Alive block summoned this news site to the scene as they said that its time persons are made examples for being irresponsible in their parking.
“It’s hours that woman was here calling here there and everywhere to get her car out to go about her business. She called DMV give the car number they (allegedly) said they couldn’t give out the owner’s details,” related a concerned bystander.
An officer of the DMV subsequently called back and said that the owner of the car was off island at the time. Overly frustrated the women reportedly went across to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Headquarters and thanks to the cooperative police officer at the reception desk the wreckers were immediately summoned.
While it took in excess of one and a half hour before the wrecker arrived, the motor car bearing the license plate number PI 280 was eventually towed.
The consequences of one motor car parked illegally did not only affect the car that was locked in but for several minutes it caused a huge build-up of traffic along the road-way as the wrecker had no choice but to block off the entrance of the parking lot preventing others from entering.
“One person park wrong and cause all this trouble for so many others. We are glad that whoever the owner of that car is going to feel and learn her lesson and I hope they give her a ticket for illegal parking, obstructing traffic, wrecker’s fee, and everything that matches in the law,” said an observer on the scene.
The area where the car was illegally parked was also in the path of remedial works being done to a drain at Craft Alive by government.

This is BVI on an everyday basis, only difference is that this one is reported. Try parking anywhere near that parking lot by Scotia/Village Cay and see if you can get out when you're ready. People just don't give a s#!t. Stop anywhere, park anywhere, stop to talk, let off people in the middle of heavy traffic and the list goes on. It's a reflection of the general attitude of this place. Nobody gives a s#!t about anything except themselves.
@ Chief..Bulls_ _t stupid ass. You travel, then make sure your vehicle is legally parked and not blocking someone. I will repeatedly call for a tow truck for now on to remove these ass....s.
needs more of what??? bad parking, or towing away? or more places to park?
