What is dangerous parking?

The fact that a driver does not comply with the provisions of the Highway Traffic Act when parking his vehicle is systematically an offense. Dangerous parking is different from other motives because of its particularly serious nature. The consequences of dangerous parking can be disastrous or even deadly in some cases. Indeed, this type of parking does not cause discomfort but a danger for other users and that is why it is more severely sanctioned by police officers.
Generally, drivers who resort to dangerous parking are only rarely aware that the inconvenience of their vehicle to other road users puts them at risk. However, sometimes a little common sense, when the need to park is felt, to avoid dangerous parking. Since the position of the vehicle forces other users to makeover or change their course, it will be necessary to find another location. Because of its gravity, dangerous parking is more severely punished than awkward parking.



The consequences of dangerous parking

Every year in France, road accidents related to dangerous parking, has many victims. In ¾ cases, in built-up areas, these are linked to vehicles parked in turns that force other users to shift to the other lane to avoid side or rear collision. Unfortunately, when the traffic is dense, another vehicle can arrive in front and not have time to brake. Even at low speeds, a frontal impact can be fatal. The situation is even more serious when the dangerous parking masks the presence of a pedestrian crossing or a level crossing.


Penalties for infringement

At the moment, dangerous parking is severely reprimanded and few drivers can escape the net. Also, in order not to be punished by a 4th class offense, it will be necessary to avoid dangerous situations. The report gives rise to a fixed fine of 135 Euros, but also to a withdrawal of 3 points on the driving license. In the most serious cases, which border with very dangerous parking, the immobilization and the impoundment can also be prescribed after an injunction of the agents?

Dangerous parking is one of the most controversial PV motives in court. And for good reason, several judgments in favour of the offenders make jurisprudence. In fact, it is essential for the road safety officers to draw up a precise report detailing the exact circumstances of the offense. Otherwise, the motorist concerned can not be able to prove the contrary and there is a good chance that a release will be pronounced in his favour.

So why has the parking industry taken so long to innovate? Until recently, parking and innovation have mixed like water and oil. This is largely due to the slow-changing nature of the two-headed parking industry, which comprises both on-street and off-street parking. On-stre
