Parking dangers in Budapest

8 years ago
As I was cleaning out my files I found the ticket that I was given when my car got booted in District VII two years ago. It lists ALL the reasons you could get booted an earn the privilege of paying 15,000 forints and wait two hours for them to set you free. While this was in district VII I'm guessing it is pretty much the same everywhere in Budapest where it is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. So here it goes. You can get booted for:
1. Parking facing in the wrong way.
2. Parking the wrong way in a one way street.
3. Parking in a driveway.
4. Parking without parking ticket.
5. Parking during unauthorized times.
6. Parking where no parking is permitted.
7. Parking where no standing is allowed.
8. Parking blocking traffic.
9. Parking in a private parking slot.
10. Parking in a HC slot w/o permit.
11. Parking inappropriately.
12. When you present a hazard.
13. Parking when the district needs the money.
14. Anytime they feel like it.
OK the last two are for grins but you get the idea! I WILL MISS HUNGARY!
No not really....But of course it is no less different than LA, San Francisco or Miami but then again I wouldn't live in those places either!
