“Nissan Micra Gets Stuck in Narrow Alley on Santorini: Tourist Underestimates Car’s Width”

A small car got stuck in a narrow alley on the Greek island of Santorini. On Facebook, users primarily ask one question.

Estimating is always a thing: some like it more, others less. A Tesla driver, for example, recently underestimated the weight of a wheel loader – the construction machine clearly exceeded the permissible towing capacity of his Stromer. In Italy, a Ferrari Roma got stuck in a narrow alley and a holidaymaker got stuck with his BMW on a hiking trail at Lake Wolfgang. In Greece, the driver of a small Nissan car was hit.

Small car in a bind: Nissan Micra gets stuck in a narrow alley

If you rent a car abroad, the traffic habits there can sometimes get you into trouble: It doesn’t matter whether it’s driving on the left, for example, as in Great Britain, or traffic lights, which are often behind the intersection in the USA, for example. We do not know whether the renter of a Nissan Micra in Greece normally rides a motorcycle – in any case, he obviously estimated the width of his small car to be significantly smaller than it really is. The result: The Nissan got stuck in a narrow alley in Mesaria on the island of Santorini.

Nissan Micra gets stuck in a narrow alley on Santorini – “extremely difficult spot”

The Nissan had obviously driven into the alley with a certain momentum, because the small car could not be recovered so easily. On its Facebook page, the municipality warned that the vehicle might not be able to be removed immediately – also because it was an “extremely difficult” spot. Some time ago, a tourist in Rome delivered an even wilder action: he sped down the Spanish Steps in a Maserati, damaging them in the process.
