Look at where the hydrant is in position to the car. The hose is going to need to bend much more to go through those 2 windows than over or around the car

Yah totally. IT makes zero sense to go inside that car unless the hose loves 90 degree angles hahahahah.

Those bots talking about the hose not bending....

Makes about as much sense as parking in front of a hydrant.

But the car is not in front, close to the hydrant, yes, in front? No.

New York law:

  1. No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant...

I imagine there's a technical reason for the fifteen foot requirement. Maybe multiple pump trucks can attach to a hydrant, or the hoses have to attach aligned with the road and not across it.
