sorry but what difference does it make which way round you park? Your car doesn't suddenly change dimensions or anything like that.

This surely only applies to when you've still got your headlights on?

The different it makes is the rear of cars have reflectors, but the front doesn't. If you park facing traffic they might not see your car.

Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations 1991
Paking in darkness
10. Regulation 101(1) made it an offence for a person, other than with the permission of a police officer, to cause or permit any motor vehicle to stand on a road at any time between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise unless the near side of the vehicle is as close as may be to the edge of the carriageway. The provision will now apply for the whole period between sunset and sunrise.
