Spurious reasoning.
My car and my wife's car (and I'm sure yours as well - been on MBs for a long time) have a 'P' position on the light switch....Select P and push the indicator to the side you want parking lights - Ignition off - why wouldn't you use this?
If you are parked then you should be able to turn off your ignition 'most' of the time......seems to me you are 'cutting off your nose to spite your face' as you would benefit from your ILS more (in your general daily driving) than the 'inconvenience' that you have for the times when you are parked facing oncoming traffic (which is apparently illegal at night) and don't want to turn your engine off.
How so spurious? I am only practicing consideration for others. Yes my car has the park facility and yes I do use it, it’s the OP’s I am having a go at who don’t think or consider the possible consequences of their actions. I do not want to switch off my ignition/engine because the electric heated seats, blower motor and infotainment system all draw a fair bit of power from the battery and don’t work without the engine being on, plus, I’d rather be comfortable than freezing my ass off in the depth of a Scottish winter. I guess I’m just a “control “ freak
