On **Rue du Faubourg Tarragnoz** in Besançon, a young mother discovered her car trapped between two other vehicles, unable to move for three days. The situation brought attention to the difficulties of parking in the city center. The incident happened on a Friday when she went to pick up her daughter from school and found her car stuck bumper to bumper with two others, with only a few millimeters of space in front and behind. She tried to move the car using forward and reverse gears but found it impossible to free it. Initially, the woman thought it might be a prank, but she soon realized her car was truly stuck between the two vehicles. She contacted her daughter’s father and the municipal police, who sent a patrol to the scene. The officers recorded the license plates and tried to reach the owners of the three cars, but no one responded, and the vehicles remained in place for three days. A mechanic was called to assess the situation and suggested several methods to free the car, but eventually gave up to avoid causing damage to the vehicles’ bodywork. The woman then resorted to walking, using an electric scooter, or borrowing her parents’ car for her daily activities. On Sunday, she even turned the situation into a family outing, joining her daughter and friends at the Gare d’Eau Park. The police explained that they could not impound the vehicles because no clear violation had been observed. The three cars were parked in permitted spaces without blocking garage exits or obstructing pedestrian paths. According to Article R417-12 of the Road Code, a vehicle must remain in the same place for more than seven days before it can be impounded. In Besançon, only three days had passed, placing the family in a legal gray area but still in compliance with the law. The incident raises questions about what to do if a car becomes stuck between two vehicles. Experts recommend staying calm, taking photos of the scene, and contacting local or national police. It is important to avoid pushing neighboring cars or taking matters into one’s own hands to prevent further damage or conflict. Some drivers choose to leave polite notes on windshields or knock on neighbors’ doors. For the future, many prefer to choose parking spaces with more clearance when possible.
