Question 210 in the bank

Is it permissible to stop a vehicle next to another vehicle that is parking at the side of the road?

An urban street: a small white car stands beside the curb, with a silver SUV standing next to it in the lane; a pedestrian on the right, trees behind.
  1. Yes, in an urban road only.
  2. Correct answer: It is absolutely forbidden.
  3. Yes, during “light time” only.
  4. Yes, when the lane’s width exceeds 2.5 meters.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: It is absolutely forbidden.

It is forbidden to stop a vehicle next to another vehicle that is parking at the side of the road. This is double parking: the vehicle takes up part of the lane and obstructs traffic. The ban does not depend on the lane's width, on light time or on the type of road.
