Must admit to being surprised a car that new allows you to leave the

Yeah after flattening the battery of my Mk1 Escort I wired the lamps
through a relay so they turned off when the ignition was off. And a
switch to turn on the offside side and rear lamps for parking. There was
a warning light too, but I forget when it came on. I guess modern cars
are more complicated to fiddle with the electrics.
