Don't park where there are yellow curbs. Don't park where it says no parking. Don't park in front of a fire hydrant. Don't park in reserved spaces. Don't park in private parking lots. Don't park on the street with parking meters and not pay the meter. Other things to keep in mind, your not cool if you speed. If you speed and get caught, you have to pay a traffic fine, your car insurance will go up, and you won't have a nice day. Maybe you should go down to the local DMV and get a handbook, just to look over the facts. |

Cheers, you should have covered this in drivers Ed. You can not park in a firer zone. Were it says NO PARKING, near the corner or intersection of two streets. Facing your car on the wrong side of the street, across a drive way. In front of a firer station. |

As a general rule, when you're allowed to park along streets, there will be a yellow curb or a sign.
I suspect it's true in all states that you must park on the right side of the street unless it's a one-way street. Both your wheels must be off the curb, but within 12 inches.
It's typically no-parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, and within 75 feet of an intersection, but the actual distances vary by location. You can't park blocking a driveway.
There will be signs where parking is prohibited on certain days, or where you need a special permit for parking. |

Basically, if there's no lines next to the pavement and you're not obstructing roads and people's access you should be ok. Where there are yellow lines, single or double, there should be a sign on the pavement nearby telling you when you can and cannot park, and if you need to put money into a meter. |

The white zone is for loading and unloading only, there is no parking in the red zone. |

If you're in the UK, surely you read the Highway Code for your theory test at least. If you haven't, I suggest you do so. There are many situations where it's inappropriate to park, either through law or common sense. The latter's important because though you might be permitted to park legally in a particular spot you could still be "done" for causing an obstruction. |

if there are lines at the side of the road, double, single, dotted, red, yellow, white
DON'T PARK
also look on posts for restrictions
pay in a car park, that is what they are there for - to park in |

Read the highway code,it's all in there. Assuming you read the highway code before you did your theory test ,it is reasonable to expect you to know.
Driving tuition is not just about instructor input it is also about self help.

This all comes down to common sense because if you have to pay to park somewhere then the cost will be posted and if you park somewhere you should not then you will know about it by fair means or foul the rest is up to you my friend.
goodluck |

Unless it has changed since I last read it, the Highway Code should answer your questions.
Drive carefully, and if I can give you one piece of advice;
Treat the other driver as a complete idiot, don`t expect him to do what you think he might do.
Good luck |

As a newbie driver you would be well advised to use proper meter parking bays, or council pay as you enter ( that way you have printed proof) car parks and keep an eye on the time.You cannot go wrong either way just as long as you keep a track of the time, avoid empty lots they are usually patrolled by the get rich scum demanding £100 plus fees to unclamp you, thats why I keep a portable grinder in my car, I have only used it twice in 7 years, each time I have told them to sue me. I have heard nothing further in both cases. |

If you are in the UK, just don't park on double yellow lines, check the signs for restrictions e.g. times, loading etc. always keep a parking disc in your car, and keep safe |

Well don't park on double yellow lines for more than 5 mins, and this only to unload your vehicle, NOT for going to the chippie!! NEVER park on double reds, you'll get your car crushed. Single yellows are ok after 6pm. You can get a ticket for not parking wholly in a parking bay too - i.e all four wheels of your car must be in the parking space. That's about it really. |

Don't park in blue handicap spaces, next to red curb (fire lane) anywhere there is diagonal lines accross the space, yellow is for loading and unloading, between any two no parking signs, in front of driveways, always park in traffic direction, other than that it's fair game. |

Apart from the obvious yellow lines read all the signs, you should not go wrong if you read all the signs. |

i always try and use proper car parks but if you cant and are say trying to park in a town,never park on yellow lines and look on the lamposts where your parking,they usually have little signs on them telling you the length of time you can park etc it has worked for me so far. |

OK
don't park on double yellow lines
you can park on a single yellow if you don't leave the car
don't park in a parking space and never pay
don't park in a disabled or Private space without a permit
if you break down on a main rd carriageway or motorway and need to leave the car then always inform the police
it is all really common sense |

Do not park on yellow lines neither single or double. You can park anywhere on a road as long as you are not near a junction, across a zebra crossing or any white zig zag lines. Check road side signs for no parking signs. You can not park across anyones driveway or obstruct access roads. Can not park on a motorway or dual carriageway. |

Sir

what happened to the theory? well in the UK dont park on a single or double yellow, and not in residents parking only spaces. pretty simple really |
