"Arturas Zuokas, the Mayor of Vilnius in Lithuania, chose to drive over luxury cars in a tank to send a message about parking illegally.
''What should the city do about drivers who think that they are above the law? It seems that a tank is the best solution.''
The get-tough approach earned praise for Mr Zuokas, who has been better known for his involvement in a bribery scandal while serving two terms as mayor until 2007. He was re-elected in April.
''Mayor Zuokas wanted his message to be loud and clear that the city will not tolerate brazen and disrespectful behaviour by drivers who disobey parking rules,'' said his spokeswoman, Irma Juskenaite.
''The mayor hopes that he will not have to repeat his performance to have drivers heed his message, although he says that he is prepared to do so.''"
