parking

Parking is the act of stopping and disengaging a vehicle and leaving it unoccupied. Parking on one or both sides of a road is often permitted, though sometimes with restrictions. Some buildings have parking facilities for use of the buildings' users. Countries and local governments have rules for design and use of parking spaces.
Car parking is essential to car-based travel. Cars are typically stationary around 95 per cent of the time. The availability and price of car parking supports and subsidize car dependency. Car parking uses up a lot of urban land, especially in North America - as much as half in many North American city centers.

    Free charging in Paris

    Just got back from a trip to Paris. This parking lot had a free charging. Had to pay for parking but would have had to do that anyway :) Of course had CritAir sticker so no French congestion zone.

    Using the electronic parking brake or the P button whilst driving at speed??

    I’m curious about what would happen if I pulled up the Electronic Parking Brake (the lever next to the gear selector) or pressed the big P button whilst driving at speed. The reason for asking is that I may be accompanying a very inexperienced new driver and wonder what the best response from...

    Saved by RCTB

    I'm usually a bit dismissive of all the gadgets, but RCTB deffo prevented serious embarrassment or even injury this afternoon. I was reversing out of bay parking into the car park when a pedestrian, who had been hugging the back of the van next to me and therefore was out of sight, walked...

    Wish list item

    Having just installed a dash cam for parking coverage I really wish that MG had a parking mode utilising the existing cameras like Tesla, it is frustrating knowing they are there and not being able use them for this purpose. So does anyone have features they would add to a wish list ?

    360° camera tips?

    I hope it's okay to create a new thread for this: How do you use your 360° camera for front / side / parallel parking? It's unfortunate that the MG4 Luxury doesn't have any front parking sensors that beep at you. The 360° camera is really useful, though it seems difficult to spot obstacles...

    Advice on how to approach this parking lot hit and run?

    Hello fellow MG4 lovers, As if the passenger side door dents were not enough, today we acquired a bad shiner on the driver side rear. So, looking for advice on how to manage this? Viofo turned out to be a £500 waste as it didn't log the event. Is the blue-ish tinge the other car or just the...

    How are the doors in public car parks?

    Quick question for owners, how do the doors manage tight spaces in public car parks? I drive an MX-5, a pretty tiny car, and yet I often have 30cm or so to open the door in a public parking spot. Can the Cyberster's doors handle this type of thing okay? Have they ever refused to open or...

    Electronic parking brake, auto hold and hill hold control

    What is the action, interaction and difference between the EPB, Auto hold and HHC - do they all effectively apply the parking brake and release it under the right circumstances or do so in different ways?

I see the current model has, but the 2023 I'm not sure. To give an idea what I'm talking about see below link. No camera is mentioned there...

    Do you garage your Cyberster? How large is the garage?

    Hey all. Got my Cyberster home and discovered that although in theory it fits the garage, in reality it’s far too tight to get it in without worrying that I’m going to damage something. I’m considering getting a company out to replace the garage door (from one that goes between the brickwork...

    Parking Buttons

    On the car are two buttons - a big one with R N D and a smaller one to the right. Since we've had the car, we park up, hit the big button on the left and walk away from the car. When do we use the smaller button to the right with a P on it? What is it for? I've read the manual and still haven't...

    AI and beating a PCN: it could help you - have a read

    I used GPT4 to help me get two PCNs (parking control notices) cancelled. The hard-hearted people at Dart Charge (Dartford Crossing) where you have to remember to pay when you get home dinged me unfairly (I had grounds) and rejected my appeal; at the time the 2 PCNs added together had escalated...

    Almost knocked down a pedestrian on Christmas Eve

    In the Christmas crowd season, I had a pedestrian walk out in front of my very slow moving MG3 Hybrid, as I was trying to leave parking space. He was walking on the road, not at a marked intersection. Of course my car does not make any noise as it inches forward, but in reverse it certainly...
