 * Well, let's see - double parking is illegal in Oregon according to ORS 811.550(3), in Montana according to MCA 61-8-354(l), and in Washington according to RCW 46.61.570(1)(a)(i). I have therefore removed the incorrect information from the article, and wish a dozen parking tickets upon 71.111.77.250 for saying such a thing in the first place.  -- Dachannien TalkContrib 04:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Double parking not always illegal
This article has a very negative POV towards double parking. Double parking is a common and legal practice in many public garages or lots in metro cities. You simply leave your keys with the attendent if you double park another car in. Even though the article does hint that there are forms of legal double parking in the intro, it leaves the reader feeling double parking is itself an illegal act which is not true. --Csfgdead 04:25, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Double parking = occupying two spaces???
"A vehicle is "double parked" if it is parked on or over the lines separating two designated parking spaces in a parking lot, in effect occupying both spaces."

I've heard the term double parking misused in this way often, but it's my understanding, (validated by all the online dictionaries I could find) that this is NOT double parking. I'm changing the article to reflect this. Correct and cite if you believe this to be incorrect. 76.241.59.171 (talk) 06:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Whoa whoa whoa
I'd suggest immediately removing that picture, seeing as it has the license plate numbers of two cars in it.

 * With no other identifying features. HD-TV has lead to hundreds of cars' license plates being visible every day in traffic reports across the country. There's no legal or safety issues here, and Wikipedia is not censored. --  King ♣    Talk    21:22, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Parking behind?
If someone parks behind someone in a parking spot, I've heard this referred to as double parking. I see tandem parking Parking is the legal equivalent of this, but wouldn't it be described as double parking when done illegally? 68.148.26.205 (talk) 21:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
