About Standing still or parking: the difference: which statement is WRONG?
- The criterion is the PURPOSE of the stop, not its duration.
- ✓ 'Standing still' (unlike parking) is always allowed, everywhere — a standing-still ban does not exist.
- Stopping for a red traffic light, to give way, or in a traffic jam falls under NEITHER concept.
- Standing still only applies to the IMMEDIATE getting in/out of a passenger who is already there.
Correct answer: 'Standing still' (unlike parking) is always allowed, everywhere — a standing-still ban does not exist.
Explanation

Why learners get this wrong
- The criterion is the PURPOSE of the stop, not its duration. Quickly grabbing a sandwich at the baker's is parking, even if it takes only one minute, because it is not loading/unloading or getting in/out
- Stopping for a red traffic light, to give way, or in a traffic jam falls under NEITHER concept. It is not a voluntary act, so it can never violate a parking or standing-still ban
- Standing still only applies to the IMMEDIATE getting in/out of a passenger who is already there. Waiting for someone still to arrive is voluntary standing still without that immediate action — so it is parking, and forbidden where a parking ban applies
