Parking a car...

[RobbyMeister]

I wonder one thing. Is this a correct way to park a car? :P



Sharphis complained that i parked it wrong.. this is no offence against Sharphis, i just want to learn how to park a car. I thought this was the right way, because where this limo spawns, it's parked like this..

It depends on the street where it is parked. In the city when you park like this you will endanger old people, baby carts and invalids.
However in countryside and on main roads you should not park the car on the main road as it will be crashed easily.

 :ps:Those old people, baby carts and invalids are afraid of you, they will never show when you are near but call the cops.

But if i park it on a little sidewalk as this, it doen't matter, huh?

Lol, I meant that you were driving at the right side of road, then crossed left lane and then parked at the left sidewalk. I'm not sure am I correct and ofcourse I can be wrong. Let someone who knows traffic rules better (Kaltsu is driving licenses testman, he should know) explain this situation.

Anyway, to understand more how he parked, here is a small animation (attached to the post):

   Yes  your facing on the wrong way!!! Bayside?, and also from the pick you cannot see if you are double parked and it is illegal to park on pavement mwahahaha (in UK anyway) :evil: call the parking warden!!!!   

Ps, Nice limo  D)

What are invalids?

Well, you can park your car on the main road if its an emergency (engine problems, etc). (RL)

invalid = disabled person

  Yes, If i am right, and that is Bayside there are lots of OAPs ripping around the streets on little mobility scooters. You could cause serious uproar by palking on the road, as this means that the old peoplee have to go roads. This is not a pretty sight... and then they get angry!  :wow:

Oh, that's a mean way to say it...

  According to that animation, if anyone where on the streets up to 2 mobility scooter users, 1 pedestrian 1 homeless bum could have been taken out!  :wow:

In the UK... People park how they like... Doesn't matter if you cross lanes to park on the other side as long as there are no other vehicles coming down the road. Even though it's wrong to do... no one really cares, it's not going to cause a huge disaster. As long as it isn't obstructing pedestrians or blocking the road... Just park , this is RPG not RLRPG. If the police fined everyone for doing that where I live... There would be tickets on nearly every single car. I wouldn't park like that when taking Kaltsu's driving test though.

Sharphis, ok, it was a misunderstanding

[Kaltsu]

You didn't park the vehicle correctly. It's on the wrong side of the road.
You should always park the car to the side of the right lane.

About the sidewalk...
If the road is very wide (like the roads with tram tracks in SF), you can park the car to the edge of the road, right next to the sidewalk, but not over it. If the road is very narrow, you should make sure that other vehicles cann get pass your parked vehicle safely. To give more space to the passing vehicles, you can park your vehicle partly over the sidewalk if needed.

With the law, its actually allowed in my country

Do you mean on Sharphis' animation or do you mean my picture? If you mean my picture, i did park on the right side of the road.

That was what i did, in my picture. In Sharphis' animation, i know i did wrong, and i apoligise for that. I'm willing to pay ticket if it's needed.
