A 27‑year‑old John Deere tractor got stuck on the narrow, one‑way Zduńska Street in the center of Plonsk, Poland, after following a GPS route, the police say.
Tractor blocks Zduńska Street
A 27‑year‑old resident of Płock County drove a John Deere tractor into the narrow, one‑way Zduńska Street in Plonsk at 18:00 yesterday, completely blocking traffic.
Street too tight for wide machinery
The street, lined with parked cars on one side and confined by a sidewalk and streetlights on the other, proved too difficult for the wide tractor to navigate.
Navigation leads the way
The driver was guided by GPS while traveling from Baboszewo toward Nowe Miasto; authorities helped remove obstacles by contacting owners of parked cars, allowing the tractor to exit safely.
Fine for violating weight restriction
Because the driver ignored B‑18 signs banning vehicles over a certain tonnage, he received a 500‑zloty fine and two penalty points.
Police caution motorists
Officers advise checking routes before departure, as navigation systems may lack certain restrictions, potentially resulting in extended delays.
