Negotiating narrow urban roads with parked vehicles

[henrycrun]

Just an annoyance really.

Picture a narrow urban street with intermittent parked cars on your side. Obviously one has to stop in the gaps to let oncoming traffic pass and when clear move up to the next gap. Not a problem when you’re on your own. However any cars behind decide to follow blindly on your bumper only to stop on the wrong side of the road preventing any movement in the other direction. It stops all traffic and fecks it up for everybody. I have sometimes been tempted to just get out and walk.
Can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?

BTW I’ve heard this described as ‘Mountaineering’ (they get roped together for safety?) Is there another description?

Worse still, you pull into a gap to let the oncoming traffic drive through and some impatient whatsit who has failed to read the traffic situation properly just overtakes !!!!
