<img class=img src="https://autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/wrong-parking.jpg"></img><br><br>Parking is the act of stopping and disengaging a vehicle and leaving it unoccupied.<br><br>Every driver of a motor vehicle should park in such a way that it does not cause danger, obstruction, or undue inconvenience to other road users.<br><br>Youre only permitted to park the way you want inside your compound where you stay alone. <br><br><b>1. How to park</b><br><br> Before parking, check your mirror and look out for other road users. Signal to show your intention to stop.<br> Remember the Look-Signal-Move routine which means: Look around and check your mirrors to assess the speed and position of traffic behind youSignal to warn other road users what you intend doingMove or Manoeuvre represents any change in speed or direction.<br> Before leaving your vehicle, switch off the engine and make sure your parking brake is on. Do not expose valuables in your vehicles. Where safety or anti-theft devices are installed, use them.<br> Remember to switch off your headlamps at night so your battery does not run down.<br> Use parking light when necessary.<br><br><b>2. Where not to park</b><br><br>You must not park wherever you see NO PARKING sign. You must not park wherever your vehicle will obstruct the views of other road users or constitute danger to them. For instance, dont park at or near:<br><br> Road junction<br> Bends or corners<br> Brow or crest of a hill<br> Narrow bridge<br> Level crossing<br> Bus stop<br> Pedestrians crossing, or on either side of a crossing<br> School entrance or other entrances<br> Footpath, pavement or cycle path<br> The left hand side of the road (except in a oneway street).<br> On a narrow road<br> On flyovers, in tunnels or in underpasses (unless there are signs to say you may park there)<br> On expressways (except on the hard shoulder in an emergency)<br> On a single track road.<br> Outside a private entrance for vehicles<br><br><b>3. Do not block the view of traffic signs</b><br><br>You should not park your vehicle in such a manner that block road traffic signs.
