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.

    Parking lights

    Hey, Slightly strange one. The wife likes to park up and do some writing/odd jobs when waiting for a pickup from the bus station/park and ride. When she does, she's been trying in vain to turn off the front lights. Even if you turn off the active lighting and there's no light icons on the...

    Seen at my local charging point. Of course they may well be not charging just using the parking place.
