Prohibit double-parking

Non-availability of parking space in our cities has become a major problem and is increasing by the day as more new vehicles hit the road every single day. The problem has become so acute that vehicle owners now resort to double-parking in the cities.

However if the driver prefers to lock the car and leave it double-parked, it can create problems for the cars parked in the parking lot as they will not be able to remove the car.
