A driver has issued a warning to other motorists urging them to think twice before parking in front of a fire hydrant – and there's a very concerning reason why
Parking in front of someone else's driveway, for example, is generally frowned upon and some areas in your neighbourhood may have restrictions. However, did you know you should also steer clear of parking in front of a fire hydrant?
It read: "I was today years old when I found out that this is the reason why you don't park in front of fire hydrants." Accompanying the caption was a video which showed firemen breaking into a car window to be able to access the fire hydrant next to it.READ MORE: Scotland's 22C heatwave forecast as one area to 'remain cloudy with rain at all times'
Although others understood the reasoning as one said: "Yup. Don't do it." Someone else added: "Got what they deserved. I only wish they were it down to to make sure the hose went through smoothly." Then a third joked: "It's not the reason, it's the consequence."
