    The eternal battle between bicycle and car has taken a disturbing turn for drivers after the mayor of Vilnius unveiled his new policy for keeping the Lithuanian capital’s cycling lanes clear: crushing offending cars with an armoured vehicle.

    In a video (above) posted on the city council’s website, mayor Arturas Zuokas, who is possibly more keen on cycling than even London mayor Boris Johnson, complains about the owners of luxury cars who believe they are above the law and constantly park in bicycle lanes.

    Finally, he sees a Mercedes, which is promptly written off with what he calls a 'tank', although it looks more like an eight-wheeled armoured vehicle. He says: "That's what will happen if you park your car illegally."
