What is double parked?

Double parking is the act of parking a vehicle parallel to an already parked vehicle, effectively blocking it in. This is typically done when there is limited parking space available and the driver needs to quickly run an errand. However, double parking is illegal in most areas and can result in a fine or having the vehicle towed. It can also cause inconvenience and frustration for other drivers trying to access the blocked-in vehicle. Double parking can disrupt the flow of traffic and create safety hazards, as it may force vehicles to swerve around the parked cars or create visibility issues. Overall, it is best to avoid double parking and find legal parking alternatives to prevent traffic congestion and potential fines.
