Parking overnight on the street?

Question

I want to park overnight on the street. Yes I know its Illegal, but other than getting a ticket what would happen? would the police ring my doorbell in the middle of the night telling me to move my car? or would it be a ticket and left at that.

Answer 1

You can receive a ticket or even worst your vehicle can be towed away...............................

Answer 2

If it's illegal to park overnight on the street where you are, you might get towed.  I doubt they would bother trying to ring your door bell.  You will just wake up to a missing car.

Answer 3

you would get a ticket most likely unless you were blocking traffic or parked in a tow zone.

after a few tickets that don't get paid, they might tow nd impound the car.

they will not ring the bell.

Answer 4

It depends on what country you live in and what the local laws are there. If it's the United States, I don't see why there should be a problem with parking overnight on the street. As long as your car is not blocking a driveway or parked incorrectly to obstruct traffic, I don't see why they should bother you to move it or write you a ticket.

Answer 5

Brookline?

Read the signs near where you are parked. See if they mention towing. If not, the most you will get is a ticket.

Answer 6

Parking overnight, where specified as contravening the road traffic act (plate clearly visible) yes it could happen, if the vehicle is deemed as a danger to other road users. It's more likely a warden will catch you out in the early morning, you've been warned.
