I'm almost tempted to wish for a visiting traffic warden who's read the Highway Code. I assumed it was laziness about driving a hundred yards further to turn around, then I watched a few pause at a space, drive up to the junction, turn around and come back to park facing the wrong way. Why?

I was surprised to find a sign the other day explaining that rule - it was on a new-build housing estate - but later in the day I saw cars parked on a roundabout which had a double yellow line, so perhaps the people who live there need extra training in parking law.
