Can anyone clarify about you not being allowed park if there is a continuous white line in the middle of the road??
( d ) on a section of roadway with less than 3 traffic lanes and where traffic sign number RRM 001 [continuous white line] has been provided;
What if the road is wide enough to take a car passing you even if there is a white line??
I think the above is a valid demonstration that there are alot of people who need a refreshers course on the rules of the road.
