You find a driveway entrance with a lowered kerb. Why should you not park across it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It blocks vehicles that must enter or leave
- Step 1: A dropped kerb gives access to private property. Step 2. Parking across it obstructs people who need to get in or out. Answer: It blocks vehicles that must enter or leave. Why not the others: Dropped kerbs are only for pedestrians: a dropped kerb exists so vehicles can cross to the property as well as wheelchairs. It spoils the pavement: damage to the kerb is minor; the real problem is the blocked access. Parking there is legal if you stay in the car: blocking the access is the problem, not presence in the car.
