Pullthrough
Encyclopedia : P : PU : PUL : Pullthrough
A pullthrough is an automotive maneuver where a driver will drive through one parking space into a connecting space. It is generally done when parking, so that the driver does not need to reverse out of a parking space upon their return. However, the pullthrough may also be done on departure from the parking space, if there is no car in the connecting space blocking them from proceeding out.
While the pullthrough is quite common, it is illegal in some areas. Where it is illegal, there is not a single penalty for simply performing the act, but rather a separate penalty is accrued for each individual violation - thus for each individual parking lot line crossed there is an additional fine.
