Answer: C — Parking on the street side of a parked vehicle

Double parking refers to the act of parking a vehicle alongside another parked vehicle, blocking the flow of traffic and restricting access to the parked vehicle. This practice is typically deemed unsafe and disruptive, as it can lead to traffic congestion and create hazards for other drivers and pedestrians. The consequence of double parking primarily involves being fined for improper parking. Authorities enforce parking regulations to maintain order and ensure safety on the streets. In most jurisdictions, double parking is considered a violation of these regulations, leading to penalties such as fines or citations issued to the driver. While some options suggest less severe consequences, like receiving a warning or facing immediate towing, they do not accurately reflect the standard repercussions of double parking. Towing may occur under certain circumstances, but it is not the immediate or common consequence.
