    I love this way of dealing with such a situation!
    It both helps the passengers (who will still be later than without inconsiderate car parking) and teaches a lesson.
    Best way to make sure there’s no weaseling out of the responsibility is to tow the car and only fork it out after an advance payment to cover the taxi costs has been made.
    The driver (who maybe wasn’t the owner) has no money? Make it the owner’s problem!

      Its actually terrible. That just means if you’re rich enough you can ruin people day with no consequences…

        I don’t know how to tell you…
        …but that’s how the current world works in most parts.
        And delayed transport is at the lower end on the scale of life ruining events.
        Do I really need to bring up Epstein and the orchestrated abuse and worse?

        Well, first dealing with a towed car isn’t “no consequences”. Second, right now this guy barely has any consequences for the people he fucked over, and the people he fucked over just have to figure it out themselves, at least with the free taxi thing everyone gets to their destination at a reasonable time and the guy who caused the delay pays for it.
