Mercedes Parking Lights

The use of hazard lights / four-way-flashes in order to park absolutely anywhere. It doesn't matter if the spot is double-yellow lines, has no room to fit a car, or is a busy highway intersection. Just put the flashes on and stick the car anywhere you like. You are very important, and normal parking rules don't apply to you.

Named for the kind of car that seems to include these as a standard feature, but also readily available on BMWs and Audis.

"I really need to go into this store, but the nearest car park is over a minute's walk away. I'll just pull over in the middle of the road and use my Mercedes Parking Lights. They let me park wherever I want."
