Here in London targeted use of parking enforcement is an infamous money-spinner for local authorities - in instances where they know they can clean up: case in point, our local hospital has basically no on-site parking, only metered parking on local roads. The problem of course is that people going to a hospital appointment have no accurate idea how long the wait plus appointment time will be. Hence, there is a bloke on a scooter on permanent patrols looking for anyone who is a few minutes over so he can do them.

London has one of the best public transport networks in Europe.

Being good at A is not an excuse for abusing users of B.

Would you feel good about the fact that a city with an amazing road network abuses public transport users ?

Hospitals are a really obvious case where someone may not be able to travel by public transportation.

i'm struggling to think of cases where it is safer to drive a car than to be carried by subway or bus

Highly contagious disease with symptoms mild enough for you for it to be safe to drive. Like COVID in early 2020.

Or, for example, if kid had accident at home that's fairly serious but not serious enough that you actually need ambulance. You want to get them to hospital quickly with minimal walking required but you also likely need parent to stay with them.

Because sometimes someone (a partner, a friend, etc.) is driving for you.

Yes, you could take a taxi, but that can easily cost more than parking, even when parking is as expensive as in London.
