Dishonest tow trucks and traffic cops skillfully take advantage of the fact that visiting tourists don’t know the city well. In addition, as in other settlements, in Sochi there are “traps” that are not so easy for a vacationer who has gone crazy with the sun to see. Let’s say there’s a sign prohibiting parking, and a half-cleared solid marker line runs three to five feet in front of it. The driver sees the sign perfectly, puts his car in front of him and … becomes a violator. It’s firmly under the side! The tow truck will not keep you waiting long.
Once the owner has managed to run his “iron horse”, the conversation about returning the car begins. Here the “brave” workers of the tree manipulator have deliberately “pressured” the fact that there is a violation and the tow truck has already arrived. That is, pay money. As a result, a person often pays directly into his hands, because he wants to stay with the car. This often happens in the absence of the police.
Another trick is that traffic cops deliberately “pull” cars with regional numbers from parking lots. At the same time, the local population is not particularly affected. There are plenty of such locations, for example for pedestrian crossings.
A special chic is the evacuation of cars in dead-end streets, near the beaches. Again, this happens when there are “traps”. Often, when parking in such places, drivers leave clothes, money and documents in the cabin and go to the beach in their swimming trunks. When they return, they discover that their vehicle has disappeared. Just imagine the state of the people! The whole vacation is in vain.
Fortunately, there are taxi drivers in the area who know which impound they took the car to. They are happy to help, but at the triple price tag. Or some corn and patty dealer can share the information. Of course for a fee.
So pay attention to the signs and markings when parking. Even if it’s heavily erased. If there are many “local” cars in this place, it means nothing! Residents of Sochi also fall, of course, but to a much lesser extent. Seasonal priority is given to visitors, because they simply have more money.
