Double-Parking
Monday, January 25, 2010
What’s going on here? It looks like the DHL truck on the right arrived to make a delivery, and the driver thought that the spot under the No Parking sign would be just perfect. After a while, a larger DHL truck showed up, and because the spot under the No Parking sign was already taken, the driver put on his flashers and simply double-parked. The result was a completely blocked street. Those who complain about this sort of thing are met with a total lack of understanding. Who could be in that much of a hurry? Why not simply wait or take the next cross street? And the cops? They are too busy looking for passenger cars with expired parking meters (there’s an 11€ fine for that offense, making it cheaper for all-day parking than a parking garage). Welcome to France...
