The wording for my town’s law is that the right wheels(passenger side) need to be within 12” of the curb to be legal. So if you parallel park facing the wrong way on the road your right wheels are significantly more than that from the curb. That wording would be why parking like OP is illegal. The right front wheel is more than 12” from the curb.

Not in my area. You have to park in the same direction as the flow of traffic or get a ticket.

OP could park nose first into the curb. Checkmate.

right wheels need to be within 12" of the curb
park nose first
rear passenger wheel still more than 12" from curb -> ticket.

Oh I misread it as front right/passenger wheel, my bad. Yeah that doesn’t leave much alternative.
Which is kinda stupid since that car’s front wheels are probably closer to the curb than many trucks’ driver side wheels are even when parked properly…

What about motorbikes?

At least in my area where the rules are the sane, motorbikes just exist outside the law. You park them wherever, but nobody gets in trouble when someone on a motorbike dies.

Fair trade.

Isn’t that always the case when someone is killed by a car? Unless they were also in a car then they are clearly at fault.
