What should you do when parking your car at night on a 30mph road?

a) Ensure your parking lights (side lights) are left on for the duration of your parking period
b) Ensure you are facing the direction of oncoming traffic
c) Ensure you move your car before daylight
d) Ensure your reflectors are clean and free of dirt

Two things that people seem to be unaware of:

"The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident." (my italics)

and

"GREEN means you may go on if the way is clear." (my italics again)

Also a couple of other traffic-light related points:
"RED AND AMBER also means ‘Stop’. Do not pass through or start until GREEN shows"

and
"AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident.
