On a 40 mph road at night, use parking lights. Park in the traffic direction unless using a recognised parking space. The ordinary-car no-lights exception applies only on roads limited to 30 mph or less and requires either a recognised parking place or lay-by, or parking at least 10 metres from a junction, close to the kerb and facing with traffic. Other restrictions still apply.
