Identical twins  . beat parking rap      ANANOVA April 17th, 2009

Swiss officials say they are 

powerless to act against identical 

twins who have run-up hundreds 

of parking tickets and blamed 

each other for the offences.

They say they cannot punish 

Harold and Michael Lengen, 38, 

for parking offences committed 

while driving around Winterthur.

Police say that in the last year 

alone the twins have collected 29 

parking tickets on a car which 

they both share.

But every time they refuse to pay 

them and tell courts that the other 

was driving.

And police say that as they are 

identical twins it is impossible 

to rely on visual evidence to prove 

who was driving the car when 

they got the ticket.

A police spokesman said: 

“It is immensely frustrating 

for our officers. 

Every time we hand one of them 

out a ticket we know what is going 

to happen next and that they 

will never pay it.

“But there really is 

nothing we can do.”
