o.uk...

There's lots of residential on-street parking here, most don't bother
parking facing the "right" way because the streetlights are on at the
time they actually park, not thinking that they'll be parked illegally
once the lights go off.


A untapped revenue stream, better phone the council so they can have
someone go around and issue tickets.

BTW its illegal to park the wrong way around with the street lights *on*.
Its illegal to park without parking lights (that requires two lights at
the front and two at the rear not the ones you get when you flip the
indicators to the park position) when there are no street lights so
there is potential for even more revenue.
Of course with all the car parking lights on then you won't need street
lights anyway.

And the breakdown services will make a fortune, coming out to all the
flat batteries every morning. Emitting rather more CO2 than is saved by
turning the lights off in the first place.
