Wrong parked? ticket! But diplomats need not fear the consequences that threaten each of us if we commit traffic violations. Because they enjoy immunity, no criminal prosecution.
It doesn’t matter whether they are parked in a no-parking zone with their special number plates, speeding through the city – or causing accidents.
