Vigilante traffic wardens take on motorists

Three female students donned Lara Croft-style outfits and toy guns to clamp down on drivers who park illegally in China.

The girls, students of Sichuan University, say motorists have been parking dangerously on their campus in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

So, wearing only skimpy vests and shorts, they decided to enforce the parking restrictions themselves.

They issued tickets - which were actually polite requests to be more considerate - to all illegally parked cars.

Liu Jingjing, one of the three, said the idea was just to remind drivers of the need to comply with regulations.

"They park illegally at the roadside, making the narrow street very crowded and dangerous for pedestrians," she said.

"We don't have the backing of the law but a lot of the worst drivers are men and hopefully our appearance might make them take notice."
