I never really thought about it, but I realised I fairly habitually see people parking on double yellow for short periods of time, and assumed it was normal and hence ok, but I _also_ assumed that it was forbidden so you should never do it. And hence, I implicitly assumed that there was some magic circumstances that everyone else knew that made it ok, but I never knew. It never occurred to me that maybe people were just wrong.

That's what I thought, but from my previous asking, it started to sound like that might make sense, but isn't actually officially endorsed anywhere.

(In which case, it might be the sort of departure from traffic laws which is actually morally ok, whether or not you're likely to get done for it, if you know you can get out of the way if you need to, and the road isn't permanently blocked by such idling cars.)
