Something to consider as the days get darker
UK motorists are being warned by a parking reservation site over a little-known parking mistake that could see drivers given massive fines.With the festive period only a month away, many may accidentally overlook road traffic laws and be hit with an unwanted penalty this year while keeping up with the Christmas rush.
The forgotten road rule that drivers often break is the provision that states that drivers should never park facing oncoming traffic at night. Rule 248 of the Highway Code states:"You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space."
Harrison Woods, CEO at YourParkingSpace, warns:"If you are parked the wrong way your vehicle will be in total darkness to other drivers passing by, which could lead to an accident or damage to your car.
