HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 cc91-2W
92. Sir R. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that congestion is often caused, especially in narrow streets, by vehicles of all kinds unnecessarily double-banking alongside parked cars when there is space by the kerb only a few yards away; and if he will take steps to discourage this practice except when the occupants are ill or crippled or have heavy baggage or goods.

Mr. Galbraith

This is bad practice and contrary to the Highway Code. In serious cases the police can take proceedings for obstruction.
