Why must you not park opposite another parked vehicle on a narrow road?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. It can leave too little room for traffic to pass
- Step 1: Narrow roads need free width. Step 2. Leave a clear lane wide enough for the widest vehicle. Answer: It can leave too little room for traffic to pass. Why not the others: It makes the road look untidy: tidiness is not the reason; the problem is the lost passing width. It reduces the income from local parking charges: the rule is about passing width and safety, not revenue. It increases tyre wear: parking does not wear tyres; the reason is the narrowed road.
