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.

    EV plonker hogging ICE stations

    Us EV drivers complain a lot (rightly) about ICEs parking on an EV charger bay - today I saw the other side of the coin when an EV driver nonchalantly parked his car (an MG5) at a petrol pump before going to grab a coffee at Greggs. Plenty of off-pump parking bays available. What an idiot! I...

    Front parking sensors

    Had my new HS Plug in Trophy that I was told in dealer was top of the range with all the bells and whistles! But it seems there is no front parking sensors and the 360 cameras have to be manually switched on that is not helpful when parking front on! To be honest the dealer was pretty clueless...

    Warning beeps when parking

    When I am reversing into a parking space the car starts to beep when you encounter an object i.e. another car appearing in the yellow or red lines. However when moving forward to straighten up in the parking space the car does not beep as you get closer to the car in front. So my question is...

    "P" for park

    Just wondering if the 4 has a parking pawl in the transmission which engages when you press "P" on the selector. I know the gen 1 ZS didn't, "P" just engaged the handbrake on the rear wheels, but the MG4 manual says "P" locks the transmission and there is a slight rock and a metallic clunk sound...

    Battery percentage during long term parking

    We are shortly going to leave our MG4 in an airport long term car park for 3 weeks. It will probably be sitting at about 60% battery when we park up. What sort of % loss can we expect? Andy

    Reverse camera 170 degree with dynamic parking lines and mirror monitor with 7.5” 1080p display

    Hi all just thought I’d share the reverse camera installation in my MG4 SE LR. I’ve installed a 170 degree camera with dynamic trajectory parking guidance with a 7.5” replacement rear view mirror 1080p.

    Beware the need to register in the shop if you expect to stay more than 30 minutes. EURO CAR PARKS will fine you £100 if you stay longer and my charge took 38 minutes, plus 20 minutes setting up on 3 different chargers.

    Brighton beach charging?

    Going down to Brighton this weekend and wanted any tips on where to park and charge? Last time we went we paid £20 for parking right by the British airways ride thing. I thought if we are paying £20 it would have been nice to charge as well
