Explanation
As a driver, you are responsible for making sure that your vehicle does not become a hazard after it has been parked. Whenever you park, make sure that your vehicle can be easily seen by drivers approaching from any direction, and that it is far enough from any travel lane to avoid interfering with traffic. Never leave your car on a crosswalk, in front of a driveway, in a tunnel, on a bridge, or in any other area where there is a sign prohibiting parking.
