Photo: Use off-street parking areas, or bays marked out with white lines on the road as parking places, wherever possible. If you have to stop on the roadside: - do not park facing against the traffic flow - stop as close as you can to the side - do not stop too close to a vehicle displaying a Blue Badge: remember, the occupant may need more room to get in or out - you MUST switch off the engine, headlights and fog lights - you MUST apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle - you MUST ensure you do not hit anyone when you open your door. Check for cyclists or other traffic - it is safer for your passengers (especially children) to get out of the vehicle on the side next to the kerb - put all valuables out of sight and make sure your vehicle is secure lock your vehicle.
