This poor chap of a driver was scared to park too far from the kerb on the road in case he could not find the pavement and he would be lost – for ever – only to prow the kerbs for eternity, and remember it’s dark
So he decided to hop over the double yellow line, thinking it was there as a navigation aid so he could get onto the foot way with ease. It is the double yellow line that hides him and his van in a mystics way from anyone driving past and spotting him.
We all need a ‘cloak if innocence’ to hide us when we choose.
