Really, you just can't be bothered to think about whether your parking spot is a wise location to leave your car for several weeks? And further, that you can't even choose not to park on a snow emergency route?

Your car is probably the first or second most expensive thing you own. Take ten seconds to read the signs governing the legalities of where you store it. If you screw they up (it happens to all of us) then own the screwup.

I've lived in places where you don't have a lot of choice in the matter. I do make an effort to not park on the emergency route in my town. On the side streets, they have alternate side parking. Every week, you have to move your car.

I can go on a one week trip which will turn into a three week one. It's just the nature of the job - the customer's needs come first. They're running billion dollar manufacturing facilities and all the equipment has to keep running.
