[26 You need to know] Be a polite knight! Bone space parking microphone

2022-10-19

Riders who have some driving experience in Hong Kong are believed to be familiar with motorcycles. Bone spaces are designated by the government for short-term parking of motorcycles. Different from private car parking spaces, bone spaces are free parking spaces, and the parking space is relatively small. The number of bones is limited and the space is narrow. To be a polite knight, don’t just ask for it. It’s not a big deal to affect other road users, but it’s a big deal for your car to be scratched. Novice knights, let’s take a look at what to pay attention to in the berth!

The large frame saves space and the side frame should be parked on the right side

The bone space is shallow and narrow, and the more vertically the vehicle is placed, the less space it takes up. Therefore, when parking in the bone space, try to keep the vehicle as straight as possible to avoid collisions with vehicles on both sides. If the vehicle is equipped with a large frame, it is best to use the large frame when parking, so that the vehicle can be parked in a vertical state. If the vehicle does not have a large frame, you must be careful when parking on the side frame alone, because the body will lean to the left after the side frame is dropped. Even if the space in the parking space is enough for the vehicle to drive in, it may not be absolutely enough to park. When the rider drives into the parking space, he can slightly deviate to the right side of the parking space to reserve enough space for dropping the side frame and tilting the body to the left.

Generally speaking, when parking in the bone position, the most likely places to collide with neighboring cars are the handlebars and rear-view mirrors. If the space is limited, you can slightly twist or tilt the body when driving into the parking space to avoid touching neighboring cars. In addition, if the dead air hose of the vehicle is installed on the right side of the vehicle body, you should also pay attention to whether the dead air hose will touch the vehicle on the right when you enter the parking space from the right. If the vehicle is equipped with a trunk, the width of the trunk may also be slightly wider than the body, so be careful not to touch the trunks of the vehicles on both sides.

Insufficient space should not be forcibly ingested, do not move the car to avoid offending officials

The supply of bone spaces in Hong Kong is in short supply, and the number of motorcycles parked in a row of bone spaces is often more than the number of originally designated parking spaces. In theory, only one motorcycle is allowed to park in each parking space, otherwise, it can be regarded as illegal parking, but in fact, as long as it is within the bone space, law enforcement agencies generally don’t pay attention to it, and sometimes three cars in two spaces are not enough Surprisingly, the parking space is further reduced in disguise. However, the width of different models is different, and sometimes the narrow space may not be enough for all models to park. If the bone space is insufficient, do not force your car into it. Not only may it scratch the car, but it may also affect the vehicles on both sides. In severe cases, the entire row of motorcycles may even fall down like dominoes. The loss outweighs the gain. Riders should find another space with sufficient width to park their vehicles to avoid collisions.

Faced with the bone space that can only be driven into by a little, some knights will choose to move the adjacent vehicles in order to make more space. We do not recommend this. If you move someone else's vehicle rashly, in addition to the chance of scratching the other person's body and dropping parts, it may also trigger the alarm system such as the disc lock on the car. In serious cases, you may even commit the crime of interfering with the vehicle. The consequences can be very serious. Furthermore, a motorcycle weighs more than 100 kilograms and 200 kilograms, and it is easy to be injured if it is moved by only one person. Therefore, instead of taking such a big risk to move the car into the bone, it may be easier to find another place to park.

Seats are first come, first served. Do not jump in line if someone is waiting for a seat

The bone space is limited. If some knights do not want to take the risk of parking in the back alley, they may queue up at the bone space to wait for a vacant seat. If other seniors are waiting, you can ask the other party if they are waiting. Remember not to jump in line. We are all knights of two reels, remember to treat each other with courtesy and respect. Due to the high fluidity of the bone position, after parking the position, it is recommended that the rider lock the steering wheel and install a disc lock to enhance security; Resist the white "big gift" left by birds when they fly by, keep the car body clean, kill two birds with one stone.

Long berth bones are illegal

Some riders will park their car in the bone, but be aware that the law stipulates that motorcycles cannot be parked in the bone for more than 24 hours in a row, otherwise it will be illegal. The police may "draw ghost feet" in front of the motorcycle parked on the bone, that is, use chalk to mark the parking position of the motorcycle on the ground. If the location of the motorcycle remains unchanged after one day, it means that the motorcycle has been parked for more than 24 hours , the owner may be prosecuted. Therefore, in order to avoid violating the law, and for the sake of other knights, we do not recommend that knights stay long.

The range of the bone position is based on the marked column, and the card can be copied outside the boundary

Some bone positions are set on curved roads, or the parking spaces on the ground fade over time, which may cause the bone position range to be unclear. Cavaliers can pay attention to the marking columns on both sides of the bone position. The range between the two columns is the legal bone position. If you park outside the bounds, you have a chance to be copied. In addition, in case of special days such as road closures, road repairs, or the Second Spring and Autumn Festival, some bone sites may be temporarily suspended, and notices will be erected near the relevant bone sites in advance. A "No Parking" sign will be put on for identification. Cavaliers should pay attention before parking.
