VW station wagon has been blocking the Rewe entrance in Peine for weeks – there is no solution!

A black VW station wagon is currently causing a stir in front of the Rewe in Peine on Celler Strasse. The vehicle has been standing at the main entrance since June, blocking access for customers and suppliers. The strange situation began on June 22nd when the driver of the car suffered a medical emergency and was then taken to the Peine Clinic. The station wagon was, according to information from News38, properly secured and left in gear.

The police secured the car keys, but what will now happen to the vehicle remains unclear. Rewe staff have already put up warning signs to draw attention to the predicament. However, the supermarket cannot repark the car itself because of the gear it is in. The uncertainty about towing costs doesn't make the situation any easier, and a solution is not yet in sight. The police have informed the driver's family, but the conflict with the blocked car is causing great dissatisfaction internally, especially since Rewe is about to celebrate its one-year anniversary after an extensive renovation.

Problem of parking tickets in supermarket parking lots

The topic of parking in front of supermarkets is quite explosive. Supermarkets are increasingly hiring private companies to monitor their customer parking spaces and punish violations. This private control can take the form of fines, as the consumer advice center explains. These tickets may not be permitted, especially if the driver is a customer. It's important that potential parking nasties are clearly communicated so that parkers accept the conditions before parking their vehicle.

Special rules apply in private parking lots such as in front of shopping centers. Parking illegally here is not only impolite, but can also be seen as a trespass to property. The operators are entitled to take action against this. Offenses can be punished with fines of between 15 and 60 euros. Anyone who does not pay is faced with additional collection costs. This is based on information from ADAC out.

Rights and obligations of parkers

Anyone standing in a parking lot must adhere to the rules that apply there. But the clues are not always sufficiently visible; Small signs or hidden conditions may not work if they are not clearly visible. Parkers should be aware of the possible contractual penalty that can apply if the respective terms and conditions are violated.

Judicial practice has also made it clear that car owners do not automatically have to take responsibility for parking violations if they were not driving themselves. However, you could be confronted with a cease-and-desist declaration that is punishable by law if the driver is not named. In addition, collection fees may not be charged before the first reminder, which may be important in the current situation with the VW station wagon in Peine.

The situation surrounding the blocked vehicle remains tense - not only for the supermarket, but also for the driver and her family. How those responsible at Rewe and the police will resolve the situation remains to be seen.
