If it breaks down next to a kerb then it could be considered parked. Mr D

If a car's motor has stopped it is considered parked so yes. L.Sykes

I agree with Liana.S. Also if the motor has stopped in the middle of the road it is parked but not in the right place. But Mr Dibben, if a car has broken down in a car park then it is still parked. Well I don't know, if a car is put in PARK then it is parked whether it is in the right place or not so if a car is broken down and not in PARK it might not be parked, is it? S.Clerk

__//**Well I guess it all depennds on where the car is. It could be on or near the kurb. In the middle of the road or eve stuck in a driveway. Another thing is which gear the car is in.It could be in Neutral, Reverse, Drive, 2nd Gear, 1st Gear or in Park.Lets just say that you were driving along Pakuranga Road near the middle of the road and your car breaks down. Like Liana S said the engine has stopped so that could be considered as a parked veichle but like Shannon says you are just parked in the wrong place which could cause a car crash.**//__ __//**N.Jones**//__ //**well if its got no battery and its in a parking lot i culd be considerd parked**// //**R.Barber**// i thunk a broken down car will be parked because its not moving and its battery is not running.Alyssa

I think that if the cars gear stick is on the 'P' or in 'neutral' it is considered parked, But if it is on 1,2,3,4 or 5 it should't be considered parked. Of course, it all depends... - K.Walsh

//I thunk that a car is parked if its broken down because its got no battery and the engine has stopped and like Nicole and Shannon said its just parked in the wrong place. But if the car is at a traffic light and is not moving but the engine is still on it is not parked! Shannon is very right if a car is put in PARK then it is definitely parked no matter were it is! But if a car's engine has broken down on a hill and the car starts going down the hill is it count as parked, the car has broken down but is moving? (another thunk question, I didn't know that) :) ........Francesca// ===== //WHAT???//  But I agree with Francesca.I think that if a car's motor has stopped and is on parked then yes, BUT, I it depends on where it is parked.  Amanda :)

If I stop in the middle of the road and put the vehicle in Park, does that mean I have parked the car? Surely, parking a car is a deliberate act and not accidental (like a break down). Mr D
