Indeed but it is often difficult or impossible to find out who parked last and committed the offence. Even if it is established which vehicle parked last, unlike say a speed camera offence, there is no power to compel the registered keeper to say who was driving the vehicle at the time.
Until a resident's parking scheme was introduced we struggled with this sort of problem most days in the road where I live!
The fire service do of course have the power force their way past if they are attending an emergency and they suspect life is at risk......
No it is not - but try getting anything done about it!
If it's being lived in without permission, the local authority can take action.
Although many motorhomes have solar panels to keep the batteries topped up.
The trouble is, even if it does technically need lights, it is often incredibly difficult to get any enforcement action taken. Even if you did they could get round the issue with a tiny bit of solar power probably for less than fifty quid.
If it is parked in a hazardous position, which appears to be the case, report it to your local council
Would it?
If somebody then tripped over the cones on the verge the "concerned resident" could possibly be liable - sadly!
