The parking of vehicles without lights is governed by two sets of regulations, one applying to London and the other elsewhere. In the Metropolitan Police district and the City of London, the Road Vehicles Lighting (Standing Vehicles) (Exemption) (London) Regulations No. 1363/55 apply, whilst outside this area the appropriate Regulations are numbered 741/ 56.
As laid down in these Regulations specified vehicles may park during the hours of darkness on certain roads without obligatory front light or rear lamps, provided they are illuminated by a single parking lamp or, in the case of vehicles normally needing two white lights in the front and two rear lamps, by one off-side obligatory front light and one off-side rear lamp.
The vehicles so specified are cars, goods vehicles of not more than 2 tons unladen weight, invalid carriages and motorcycles, Vehicles carrying projecting or overhanging loads are excluded, as are vehicles drawing a trailer.
In certain other circumstances vehicles may be parked without lights in the London area in any road on which a 30 m.p.h. speed limit applies, providing it is not a bus route. Outside London vehicles may be parked without lights within 25 yards of a lighted street lamp providing authority has been so given.
