Yesterday we posted photos and a video of several vehicles that caught on fire as a result of snow. As if having his cab catch fire in the middle of Second Avenue wasn't enough, the unlucky cabbie was given a ticket for blocking the street. The Post reports, "At 5:20 a.m., the NYPD hit the car with a ticket and summons for impeding traffic when a tow truck didn't arrive soon enough to move the burned-out vehicle."
And what is considered soon enough? Apparently, after two and a half hours, cops got antsy. "These officers were taken away from their emergency duties to baby-sit this car." Maybe the cops had a pressing emergency near NYU.
