Can parking too close to another car lead to a fine? SIC Verifica investigates

The Portuguese Highway Code does not set a specific distance in centimeters for parking between vehicles, but Article 48 and Article 50 prohibit parking in a way that prevents another driver from entering, exiting, or maneuvering their vehicle. Whether a parking position constitutes an offense is a subjective assessment made by the authorities on a case-by-case basis, with fines ranging from 30 to 150 euros.
