Perspective

<p>In the <strong>UK</strong>, To be specific, Section 98 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986/1078 requires<em>&nbsp;a driver to stop the engine of a vehicle when it is stationary so far as is necessary to prevent&nbsp;</em><strong><em>noise</em></strong><em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;</em><strong><em>exhaust emissions</em></strong><em>,&nbsp;</em><strong><em>unless the vehicle is stationary because of traffic</em></strong><em>. Section 107 of the same regulations prohibits a person from leaving a vehicle unattended unless the engine is stopped.</em></p><p><br></p><p>If drivers are breach for reasons outside those stated above, is is considered an offence under section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 which can be&nbsp;<strong>punished by a fine of £2,500</strong>&nbsp;if the vehicle is a goods vehicle or adapted to carry more than 8 passengers, or&nbsp;<strong>£1,000 otherwise</strong>&nbsp;(see Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 section 33 and Part I of Schedule 2 to that act).</p><p><span style="color: rgb(209, 200, 185); –darkreader-inline-color:#e5ddd1;" data-darkreader-inline-color="">- See more at: https://www.rivervaleleasing.co.uk/blog/posts/engine-idling-fine-parked-car-uk#sthash.dyQRJe6e.dpuf</span></p><p><br></p><p>Also, where I live, you’d be asking for the local yobs to jump in and nick it! </p>
