Uhm, just remember that there's usually a reason why it's illegal to park in some places, e.g. if it blocks an emergency access route.

- kqr 4y agoIf you ever feel like parking outside of designated spaces, this is the test you should use. Walk around your car and ask yourself, "can a person in a wheelchair go from this side of my car to the other without being too inconvenienced?" Be particularly attentive to rough ground (cobblestone), curbs, puddles, lamp-posts or other obstacles. If your parking passes that test, it generally also accommodates the blind, bicyclists, children, etc. It's not hard to find spaces that pass the test -- which is also why it upsets me so when people neglect to.

Once in SF I left my car for about 20 minutes in Haight-Ashbury on a curb that didn't seem to have any particular reason to be yellow. I returned to find that what had seemed on first inspection to be a wall was in fact a very subtle gate that slid sideways, and a few people standing around were angry with me. (When I returned to the spot weeks later, there was a new sign.)
- kevmo314 4y agoI didn't park in illegal spaces, I just refused to pay the meter. So, no high horsing needed. :)
- demopathos 4y agoI don't think there was any high horsing that took place or was implied. I recommend you don't leave comments such as that one you just left since it comes across as rude.
- swayvil 4y agoNow that's some high horsing about high horsing.
