Question 7249

In a parking area with a time limit, as a general rule, is parking permitted without displaying the badge that authorizes it?

  1. Yes, as long as an occupant remains inside the vehicle.
  2. No; in addition, the immobilization of the vehicle may be ordered.
  3. No, although the vehicle cannot be immobilized or removed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No; in addition, the immobilization of the vehicle may be ordered.

In a time-limited parking zone, like the one in the image, you must not park without the ticket or permit that authorizes it, even if you stay inside the car. Besides giving you a fine, officers may prevent the vehicle from being driven until the driver is identified, and it may be towed if you do not have the ticket or permit or if you exceed three times the paid parking time.
