Motoring in Oxfordshire

Sir,

In his letter in April Motor Sport “Freedom Fighter” was commenting on the “non-existence” of justice regarding motoring offences.

Having left my car outside a friend’s house one evening with a parking light on (yet again in Oxfordshire), I was informed by a policeman that it was against the law to leave a car on a road that had no street lamps, with only a parking light showing. Have any other readers come across this fantastic state of affairs, or does this sort of thing only occur in this part of the country ?
