What are the wrong practices for motor vehicle parking?

Wrong practices for motor vehicle parking include parking on non-motorized vehicle lanes, etc. Additional information is as follows: 1. Motor Vehicle: Motor vehicles, referred to as "motor vehicles," are wheeled "vehicles" driven or towed by their own power devices, without the need for tracks, and can travel on land. In China, they generally refer to vehicles that operate on roads for passenger use, transporting goods, or performing specialized tasks, including cars, trailers, trolleybuses, agricultural transport vehicles, motorcycles, motorized tricycles, and transport tractors (including wheeled tractors with trailers), as well as wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, but do not include any vehicles operating on tracks. 2. Non-Motorized Vehicle: "Non-motorized vehicles" refer to transportation tools driven by human or animal power that travel on roads, as well as transportation tools such as disabled motorized wheelchairs that have power devices but whose maximum design speed, unladen mass, and external dimensions comply with relevant national standards.
There are many wrong practices when parking vehicles, and I often reflect on these points myself. The most dangerous is parking in no-parking zones, such as in front of fire hydrants or on sidewalks, which can block the way or cause accidents in emergencies. Parking in blind spots, like at corners or behind large vehicles, is also risky—others simply can't see your car, making collisions likely. Another major issue is failing to engage the handbrake after parking. I once experienced slight wheel slippage on a slope because the wheels weren’t turned properly—thankfully, nothing serious happened. Additionally, forgetting to turn on hazard lights during emergency stops can lead to rear-end collisions if other drivers don’t react in time. These mistakes don’t just harm oneself but also disrupt overall traffic order. That’s why I always remind myself to double-check parking positions and safety measures, ensuring everything is secure before leaving.
Regarding parking mistakes, I think the main issue is not considering the convenience of others. For example, parking at an angle or occupying multiple spaces makes it impossible for other cars to get in or out. I've seen some car owners do this, causing everyone to wait for a long time. Sometimes, parking randomly on narrow roads blocks normal traffic flow, forcing others to detour or honk. There's also the issue of parking in charging spots for extended periods without charging, delaying electric vehicle usage, which is a selfish act. Not locking the doors or properly closing the windows after parking makes it easy for thieves to strike—a friend of mine lost belongings because of this. These practices not only offend others but may also lead to fines or arguments. Therefore, when parking, it's important to think about public order, choosing a safe and reliable spot that doesn't block the way and leaves space for others.
