What is the test for parking on the right side of the yellow line?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Haughian v. Jiwa, 2011 BCSC 1632 (CanLII):

The plaintiff was proceeding on the inside lane of a four-lane road. Two lanes were on her side of the yellow centre line, and were in turn divided by a broken white line. She attempted to park in a diagonal space on her side of the road despite the fact that such a manoeuvre would require that she reverse her direction of travel into oncoming traffic. That action placed on her a high degree of care (Dickie Estate v. Dickie (1991), A.C.W.S. (3d) 1018 (B.C.C.A.)).
