A Ferrari 812 Superfast Being Towed Away is a Deplorable Sight

Video of the moment when the expensive supercar was towed away is available at the bottom of the page. Seeing the enforcement officers putting the boots on it and then lifting it in the air to place it on the flatbet truck is perhaps the most deplorable sight you will get today.

However, the law is the law – and it has to apply to Ferrari drivers as well, it goes without saying. The Daily Mail notes that the car was parked near luxury store Harrods in Knightsbridge, in the western part of the British capital.

“The owner was also fined £130 for the offense of ‘parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours’ by enforcement officers working for Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council,” the publication says.

As per the same report, driving in London is bound to get you fined for illegal parking, more so than in any other city in the UK. London made £24 million off fines in just 3 months, with 23 percent of the fines being issued in central areas of the capital, like West End theaters in Shaftesbury Avenue and Great Windmill Street.

“Across 10 of its 32 boroughs, 549,009 Parking Charge Notices were issued from July to September 2017, with traffic wardens pouncing as quickly as 12 minutes after tickets ran out,” the Mail adds.

Then again, there’s this: drivers of expensive cars would rather be fined for parking illegally than risk seeing their rides getting banged up in a public parking space. This probably doesn’t apply in this case, since the driver was also inconvenienced by the fact that he had to go to the towing company to retrieve his car.
