When is double parking considered a serious obstruction to traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, stopping or parking is considered a serious obstruction when it blocks the path of other vehicles or prevents those legally parked from leaving. Double parking without the driver present is a serious offense because, by abandoning the vehicle, the driver cannot move it immediately if it causes a blockage. Remember the difference: 'stopping' in double file (less than 2 minutes and without leaving the vehicle) may be allowed if there is no nearby space, but 'parking' in double file is always prohibited.
