Driving schools teach parallel parking, permit zones and the difference between “no stopping” and “no waiting” — a curriculum that assumes parking is a place.
Your dashboard disagrees. The button with the little red triangle converts any location — loading bay, roundabout, the mayor’s reserved space — into a temporary personal car park, broadcasting that whatever this is, it is both brief and unavoidable. Our researchers report the effect holds for eleven minutes, or one traffic warden, whichever arrives first.
