Question 7276
A vehicle is considered to seriously obstruct traffic when it is parked...
- off the usable shoulder on a road outside a built-up area.
- in an area reserved for loading and unloading outside the hours of use.
- double-parked without a driver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: double-parked without a driver.
A vehicle double-parked with no driver present seriously obstructs traffic because the cars it blocks in cannot pull out and no one is there to move it. In the image, the blue passenger car is double-parked alongside the gray one. Off the usable part of the shoulder is exactly where you park on a road outside a built-up area, and a loading and unloading area only counts during its designated hours.
