The police can write a ticket for cars parked in the wrong place. But what if the vehicle breaking the rules is an aircraft?

A "helicopter" was recently found parked in a bus bay in the city of Zhengzhou, Henan province. With a striking yellow "watch your head" warning sign, the helicopter is three meters tall and more than 10 meters long.

The owner of the aircraft, Yuan Jingying, said it took him five years to build the helicopter. Although it cannot fly, the vehicle can run as fast as a normal car, Dahe Daily reported.

The ex-engineer said he built the "helicopter" to take his mom sightseeing, which is a dream of the old woman who is no longer able to take a real airplane.

But due to its huge size, the helicopter cannot be parked in a residential community. So the newly-built bus bay is used as its parking spot.
