If you have to stop on the roadside:
•do not park facing against the traffic flow

so following on from my previous post, https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3706585

the other night a bus bumped/damaged another car just 20 yards away from his. This other car was facing the 'wrong way' and I just wonder if insurance companies would use it as an excuse to avoid paying out if you needed to claim?

    Probably, It had incorrect lighting markers because it was backwards.

    My dad said they ticketed loads of cars in his street for that when i was merely a tadpole :)

    But seems they dont bother these days.

    They don't seem to bother about foglights anymore either.

    They dont do anything about a car racing around an island trying to catch their attention either. Must have been
    on the lunch run. Didnt want to let it get cold.
