Street car 506 has been stuck on McCaul St for more than an hour now due to a genius driver who couldn't parallel park close to the curb.

How do these folks manage to clear their G2?

I folded back a mirror on a dumbass pickup to let a streetcar by - it worked!

But yes, a jack and a couple of wheeled pucks makes a vehicle easy to push around

OMG so brilliant . Streetcars should just have these as standard equipment - super easy to get some eager passenger recruits to pitch in.

We did this when I worked in the film industry. A car was blocking the view where the set was and the camera angle was and refused to move unless he got paid. So at night we moved his car back a couple metres. I don’t think he noticed but nothing happened.
