Most drivers in Belarus and around the world break traffic rules. Many do it systematically. But as with any intentional violation, there’s a scale. Spitting on someone’s head and killing a person are both wrong, yet clearly not the same level of wrongdoing.
I obsessively promote the idea of parking on the marked lines. And I often hear the cliché “double standards” whenever someone points at the speeding violations listed in my own license history. Let me clarify. Any traffic violation is not good. But parking across two or more marked spaces is a special kind of disrespect toward everyone else. The closest parallel is drunk driving. Interestingly, unlike “booze behind the wheel,” parking outside the lines in Belarus is not punished at all. It’s entirely possible that, morally, there’s more justification for driving with a slight blood alcohol level (0.1–0.3‰) than for parking “wherever the car happens to stop.”
What do you think? It doesn’t matter what you think.
Park within one space.
