Leaving Car in Drive Mode - good or bad?
as an aside, not turning the wheels to the right when waiting to cross traffic (Even with HB or P applied) saves being pushed into on coming traffic.

Looking at the 1989 law it derives from, it seems the highway code rule rests on the generic item 11 prohibition of "any other lamp" "Used so as to cause undue dazzle or discomfort to other persons using the road."parkview094 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:33 am That's interesting - seems you're right. It's in the highway code here: https://www.gov.uk/general-rules-all-dr ... 113-to-116 - Rule 114.

Bear in mind the whole of the UK Road Vehicles Construction and Use Acts from 1989 were superseded by the EU regulations, so have little legal standing. They don't allow for LED lights, automatic steering, automatic braking and other safety systems for example. However upon Brexit, the EU regulations are now part of UK law, but they don't necessarily have specific Statutory Instruments yet. It's a right mess, so the best thing to do is to look up regulations in the EU ECE documents and assume that they're still in power in the UK.
