Detailed description

Motor vehicles that are no longer registered and vehicles that are not roadworthy (e.g. wrecked cars and car parts) may not be parked on public streets, paths and squares. If you see motor vehicles parked on public property without license plates or with their seals removed, you can report this to the relevant authorities. The responsible authority will then arrange for the vehicle to be towed and further stored and possibly scrapped.
