In many places in the US, parking facing the 'wrong' way is illegal,
which really confuses us Brits....

Why? It is illegal in Britain at night.

"... unless in a recognised parking space."

And when was that last enforced? 1872?

Possible 1972, which was about when my father was warned for it.

Here's another goody that gets enforced so rarely that I don't imagine
anyone knows about it;

"All vehicles MUST display parking lights when parked on a road or a
lay-by on a road with a speed limit greater than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Law RVLR reg 24"

I've long known that, but rarely ever park anywhere that would require
the use of lights.
